I'm doing.......uh, I mean my 6 year old daughter is doing a project on Funnel Webs. Can anyone point me to a decent site for facts? Most of them don't have much good info.

Thanks jordan dog, I really appreciate your help. I should have been clearer. What I need is Australian Funnel Webs e.g. Sydney Funnel Web and Blue Mountains Funnel Web.

You probably need an Australian website. Many hospitals have labs that make the anti-venene (whatever). Maybe a medical angle would garner more info. Good luck. Channe

This is not specifically Funnel webs, but the best site I know for your daughter's age group is Enchantedlearning It might help in another project, as it lists Australian animals as well as others. edited to say OOOOOH Look!!

Check this one out, it is an Australian Web Page, and it is really good, it has alot of information on it, and there are links to other great sites about Funnel Webs as well -

Great. Something else to obsess over! I checked out the first posted site, and before I knew it, 20 minutes of spiders had gone by! They're quite interesting. ...But creepy.
