April 1965. The world's largest known spider is a male goliath bird-eating spider (Theraphosa blondi) collected by members of the Pablo San Martin Expedition at Rio Cavro, Venezuela in April 1965. It had a record leg-span of 28 cm (11 in) - sufficient to cover a dinner plate.
These terrifying pictures show a spider which is the size of a small dog complete with two-inch fangs. Scientist Piotr Naskrecki was in a South American rainforest when he heard a noise from the undergrowth. Expecting it to be a rat, he was left astonished when he saw this monster. It turned out to be the South American Goliath Birdeater - the largest spider in the world. Incredibly, the spider has a leg span which can grow up to a foot - which is the size of a child's forearm. They can also weight more than 6 ounces and come complete with two-inch fangs full of venom.
