Who is worse
In the evaluation criteria for scary spiders, you should add speed and aggressiveness. What is the use of a strong poison if the spider moves slowly and is able to catch only the prey sitting on the ground?
Interesting!
The fastest today include spider crabs waiting for prey in an ambush. How strong the poison is in them is unknown, since arthropods are small and do not bite humans. But the speed of the turn of their body when catching prey reaches 3000 ° per second. That is, for a second, a crab spider can turn around its axis 8 times.
If you choose creepy spiders in size, then the entire top 10 scary spiders will take tarantulas.
Face horrible
But almost cute inside. All tarantulas are poisonous, but their poison is of low toxicity and the bite of these spiders is not terrible for man. If the victim is not allergic to spider venom.But in this case, the size of the spider is not so important.
If you place the spiders in descending order, you get something like this rating:
- Theraphosa blondi (type Goliath).
- Heteropoda maxima (view of the Heteropod Maxim).
- Acanthoscurria (genus Acantoskuria spiders).
- Nhandu coloratovillosus (species Coloratovillosus).
- Nhandu tripepii (a view of Nanda triperia).
- Brachypelma smithi (view of Brachypelma Smith).
- Lampropelma nigerrimum (view of Lampropelma nigerrium).
- Lampropelma nigerrimum arboricola (type Lampropelma nigerrium arboricola).
- Aphonopelma seemanni (view of Afonoplem Zemanni).
- Avicularia purpurea (species Avicularia purpura).
On a note!
The size of a spider is usually determined by the size of its paws, since the body can be quite tiny. From this point of view, the heteropod of the maxim should be in the first place, since it is superior to the Goliath in the length of the paws. But Goliath looks more impressive.
