Spiders. According to Wikipedia, science has described around 45000 species of the eight legged abominations. However, according to … somewhere, there are probably just as many hitherto unknown variants of said abominations. Which means there are around 45000 we know nothing about. Some of them may be more deadly than the funnel web … thing. Some of them may not live in Auistralia!! Combine that with the estimate that "
a human is never more than 3 meters away from a spider—ever" (adapted from
https://www.factretriever.com/spider-facts).
pibbur who takes comfort in the "fact" that while spiders exist everywhere, in the world, AFAWK his racial enemies don't exist (out-of-house) in Antarctica.
PS. This site-of-horror referred claims to have "
84 Amazing Facts about Spiders". Amazing, right!!?!??!!! (I refused to read the remaining 81 claims after numberr 3). DS.
PSS: The number of spider species not described, doesn't necessarily mean that nobody have found them. In some cases, the scientists may not have survived the encounter. I other cases people may have (wisely) refused to describe them, due to their yeeeckiness, DS.
