Can anyone help me with screaming spiders? My mum found a spider burrow this morning, and decided to plug it up. She told me that when she did this, she heard the most god-awful scream come from the burrow. We%26#039;ve been plugging a few of them up in the last 6 weeks we%26#039;ve been at this house.

I%26#039;d like to know if anyone can help me identify this spider.

We have dozens of occupied and abandoned funnel web burrows in our yard. We%26#039;re semi-rural east Victoria, lots of bushland and dry. I%26#039;ve been researching the victorian funnel web, trapdoor spiders, mouse spider etcetc, and so far they only describe a hissing sound produced by the rubbing of their fangs.

I%26#039;ve never in my life heard this, can someone elaborate?

Thanks.

it%26#039;s not like there was only one burrow in our backyard. There are at least 50 of them. These creatures are dangerous to us, to our animals and to the little children who live around here.

I%26#039;m sorry if you do not agree with protecting other people and animals from them, but i%26#039;m not sorry for it.
