The bite of the funnel web spider is immediately painful, due to the acidity of the venom and the large size of the fangs. The fangs can exceed 7 mm in length and can penetrate fingernails and the skulls of small vertebrates such as lizards. If the fangs are deeply imbedded in the flesh, the spider may be difficult to remove.

Have a great time, Chris.
