A zoo in Australia has issued an awfully odd appeal to the public. They want help from the public to catch the deadliest spider in the world! The Funnel-web spider is now the deadliest spider in the world and can be found in Australia. The zoo calls for such a strange request to help acquire the venom from the spider. The zoo takes its venom to help research anti-venom. Plus, the more spiders bring in, they less they can be out in the wild to harm unsuspecting people. The website also shows how to correctly catch one of the spiders safely.
1. How would you catch a spider like this?
2. If you couldn't catch it, would you let the spider go or kill and why?
I do not like spiders at all...so, if I was able to effectively catch I would and then get rid of it. If I could not get a hold of it easily I would most likely kill it....I know that's horrible but I have no qualms when it comes to spiders....

I dont have the slightest of an idea. Personally, I hate spiders so I would keep my distance, especially considering it is the deadliest on earth. I would totally kill it, no way I would let that thing go.
If I were to catch a spider that also happened the be the deadliest, I would be very careful. I'd probably wear a protective outfit or use some time of trap or something. If I couldn't catch it, I would probably let someone else catch it, but if it came to it I would kill the spider if it got too close.
If I were to catch a deadly spider like this, I would take extra steps to be careful and I would do everything the zoo said to do. I hate spiders, but I guess it would help the zoo in a positive way. If the spider came at me, I would kill it, but I wouldn't otherwise because the zoo needs it.
I would bring a glass box. Let it go a long way from were I live. I hate spiders but the don't try to hurt humans they actually keep insect population down
I would probably smash the spider because I wouldn't want to be close to it if it is that dangerous. If I had to catch it I would probably get a bucket or bag and put it over it then scoop it up.
I wouldn't. I absolutely hate spiders and would not go near the funnel-web spider. I would kill the spider in a heartbeat. There is no way I would risk letting it go and harming myself or others.
Never in a million years! I do not like spiders and get scared of the non-harmful ones already. There is no way on earth anyone could get me to go catch the deadliest spider in the world. If I could get it somewhere where it couldn't harm any one then I would let it be. But if I couldn't then I would get someone to kill it probably or get them to catch it and take it away.
I would not because there was no mention of a cash reward. Probably kill it so it doesn't kill someone
1. i would go out to where they are most known and try to come up with some sort of trap to bring them in
2. i would try my hardest to catch it so i could find a solution to its anti venom
I really hate spiders, so I don't know how I would catch it... I would probably just freak out and run away, or if anything else, throw a shoe at it. I would definitely kill the spider if I had the chance, wouldn't want it running around and reproducing...
