Sydney funnelweb spider

OK - one off my bucket list!!

A colleague brought in a couple of funnelweb spiders to work (to hopefully donate to a local university which milks them for antivenom production)
For those not local, this spider REALLY is dangerous (one of the few species that are here in Australia).
With my full gear always with me , I relished the chance to get up and close

Here are three of the best
