The article "World’s Deadliest Spiders: The Top 10 Most Venomous Arachnids" from BBC's Science Focus explores which spiders around the globe have the most dangerous venom. While most spiders aren't harmful to humans, some can cause pain, sickness, and even death. From the Australian funnel-web to the Chilean recluse, this list ranks the spiders you’d never want to meet.
In A Tale of Two Spiders, naturalist Steve Backshall goes searching for spiders at night. He finds a whip spider (not deadly) and a wandering spider (very deadly). This video is excerpted from BBC's Deadly 60, an award-winning nature and adventure show for kids in which narrator Steve Backshall has one mission: to travel the globe in search of 60 of the world's deadliest animals.
In Spider Web Design, spiders create amazing webs, but how do they do it? Scientists have learned how spiders create and use multiple types of silk to design webs. Humans are starting to apply the qualities of spiders’ silk to engineering projects.
