Brazilian Wandering Spider

• It is commonly known as Brazilian Wandering Spider, Armed spiders or Banana spiders, there are eight species of Brazilian wandering spiders, which can all be found in Brazil and tropical South America with one species in Central America.

• Brazilian wandering spider is the most venomous spider in the world, so it is appeared in Guinness world records from 2010, although antivenin makes death unlikely.

• The venom boosts nitric oxide, a chemical that increases blood flow. There has since been talk of incorporating the venom into drugs for erectile dysfunction. The spiders in the genus can grow to have a leg span of 13 to 15cm, their body length ranges from 17 to 48 mm; they are often found hiding in houses and cars of densely populated areas, especially during daytime.
