O-O Bitten? omg. I would freak!!
Although once my friends woke up on camp to find a huntsman inside their tent

Aren't those like the biggest spiders based on their leg length?! I. Would. Die.

I haven't got a clue. Apparently if you go by leg length Daddy long legs are pretty high on the list
I know, I'm SO glad it wasn't me. *mops brow*

The most common spiders 'round here are grass spiders and wolf spiders. Grass spiders are very distantly related to Sydney Funnel Webs which is the one in the vid.

I don't know what either of those are. But redbacks are pretty common all round the country here, we've found a couple on the front door, which we don't use very often. (We've always been a back door family, ever since I can remember)

I actually kinda like daddy longlegs

They eat other spiders.

Sorry, that made me laugh for some weird reason.
I don't like to think much about the nitty gritty of what insects get up to

I call all huntsmen Frank. I dunno why.
Daddy longlegs are awesome! I like holding them.

I just found out daddy long legs are one of the most poisonest if not the most, but there fangs are to small to punture human skin...

On the subject of spiders these spiders would be pretty creepy to run into!

 

[Disco Hen]

Don't forget the other animals!

I looked that up, its not true. Harvestmen (a type of daddy longleg) have no venom glands at all, and are not venomous. Cellar spiders, the other kind, do have venom and short fangs, though they can bite. Its not serious, and it'll only result (in a human) in a mild burning sensation that goes away quickly.
