The Prehistoric Sydney Funnel Web is still around ...

The Prehistoric Sydney Funnel Web is still around today because it is a successful hunter, You don't live for millions of years without being a good advantage and edge over your adversaries. This cricket got too close and the Funnel Web's caveman like table manners make short work of any prey.

In the Bug world it's not all blood shed and violence, The most vicious Murderess can be a mother too.

In the equally violent world of humans it's not all blood shed and violence, The most vicious murderess can be a mother too.

Put a small black critter keeper, put some coco fiber in it, and some bark and put crickets in so it would eat. for a large female garden wolf spider. It doesn't need much space. Garden Wolf Spiders will eat anything they can get their fangs on, I give mine all meal worms. A beer bottle cap as a water dish will do just fine. Give it a hide which they will feel safe and secure.

Instead of building a web, your Garden wolf spider will make its home in a hole in the ground. Give her an inch or more of clean, pesticide-free soil and some leaves, small rocks or twigs to hide under. (Artificial plants and rocks like those you get from pet supply stores will work just fine.)

Wolf spiders do not build webs to catch their prey, but are active hunters they either ambush or freely hunt their prey. They are appropriately named because they powerfully pounce on their victims. Wolf spiders use their eyesight to detect prey, but also react to vibrations.

Why the Sydney Funnel Web survived millions of years after the Dinosaur went extinct, it's a successful hunter, it has fangs that puncture a mouse skull.
