    Now I have to lookup statistics on how many people die in Oz land due to these demon spawns. Mercy on your soul.

      Did a quick google, they aren’t lethal, and they hide from people and eat other spiders, so they’re one of the good ones. Surprisingly very few people die from the horrors of Australia, they’ve got a really robust setup for getting people anti-venom. Virtually no one dies from spiders in Australia, the last reported death was in 1980.
