Dangerous spiders proliferate in Australia after fire - 20 Minutes
The recent weather conditions in Australia have favored the proliferation of a dangerous spider. Named "funnel web spider", it comes from humid forests and its venom is very toxic to humans.
Australian authorities are inviting locals to pick them up with a spoon and a plastic container. They are "very easy to catch," according to Dan Rumsey of the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby. To help you, he even gives you a little demo, to see in the video above.
