The world is full of weird and wonderful creatures, however, there are perhaps none more bone-chillingly wonderful than spiders. These eight-legged prehistoric creatures are found all over the world, they come in many different shapes and sizes, and can be poisonous or harmless. Nevertheless, spiders definitely are not something I, nor you, would want to come in to contact with at any time of day, let alone in a dark alley.
Now you may probably think the biggest spiders to ever walk the Earth lived in prehistoric times because back then everything was bigger, from wolves to sloths to camels.
But here's the truth: giant spiders might have existed in prehistoric times — perhaps we've just never found any evidence of them. But until we do, the world's largest known spiders are actually modern spiders. So today let’s take a look at 20 of the largest spider species known to mankind!
