Brazillian Wandering Spider Revealed

The Brazilian Wandering Spiders are probably the most venomous spiders in the world. They are sometimes called Armed Spiders, or Banana Spiders. The Brazilian Wandering Spiders are a genus of spiders known as Phoneutria, which means Murderess in Greek. These spiders are called "Wandering Spiders" because they move around on the jungle floor at night, rather then stay in a web or lair. In the daytime, the spiders hide in termite mounds, under logs, and in banana plants. (Hence the name Banana Spider. There have also been reports of them being shipped of to other places with the bananas.) There are eight known species in this genus, and they are all venomous. They can be found throughout South America, particularly in Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. Three of the species are only found in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. If you were to be bitten by one of these spiders, it would probably be one of the most painful bites ever. The venom is a neurotoxin, which means it targets the nerves. However, only about one third of the bites have venom. Of that, only a third of that contains more then a tiny amount of venom. Though, they are very agressive, and will attack with little disturbance. One last weird fact, scientists believe the venom of Brazilian Wandering Spiders may help to cure erectile dysfunction. Hope this has taught you about Brazilian Wandering Spiders. Keep on the look out for more animals "Revealed".
