Already you have been seriously mislead by the answeres here. Many of the spiders listed on the links given are in fact not deadly at all. Anything that lists a Tarantula is sadly in error. There is no such thing as a deadly tarantula. There has never been a single documented case of a person dying from a tarantula bite. Many reported myth's about it but never a documented case. Wolf spiders and brown recluse are not deadly either. The effects of a recluse bite can be very nasty and if bitten in a crittical area of your body death might be a result but but normally some area of "necrosis" or dying flesh is a result, not death. And a "daddy long legs" give me a break thay are as harmless as a church mouse, actually I would be more afraid of the mouse. Now the brazillian wandering spider or "bananna spider" mentioned on one of the lists is a nasty little bugger to be sure and a number of deaths have occured due to it's bite. but a random list on some web site is by far not the way to go when information of this sort is sought. Some type of zooilogical information is really needed here and a trusted source is the only thing you should rely on.
