She said:</p><blockquote style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “Although we are used to having large spiders of this species in the garden, finding a male of this size is like hitting the jackpot. His presence in our collection can release a huge amount of venom, which would be of great value for preparing an antidote.”</p></blockquote><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> These spiders live mainly in the forests surrounding Sydney and Newcastle, and can also be found in Western Australia near the Blue Mountains. It is noteworthy that an antivenom production program was launched in Australia in 1981, and since then no deaths have been recorded as a result of the bite of the &quot;Atrax robustus&quot; spider. in the country.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Read also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%B2%D9%88%D9%85%D8%A8%D9%8A-...“Zombie deer” is a disease that damages the brain and threatens humans</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%B3-%D8%B9%D9%84... one has to do is dress up as a monkey and eat bananas... the strangest job in China</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><hr /><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sources:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://arabic.rt.com/funny/1528429-%D8%B9%D9%86%D9%83%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%AA... style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.almayadeen.net/misc/-%D9%87%D8%B1%D9%82%D9%84-----%D8%A7%D9%...
