Something else to be aware of in the news today:

MALE funnel-web spiders are looking for love in southern Queensland.

Experts are warning visitors and locals to be wary of the potentially deadly spiders, especially over the summer breeding season.

The warning follows the sighting of a male funnel-web at Mount Tamborine, south of Brisbane.
Queensland Museum's funnel-web spider expert Dr Robert Raven said bites were prevalent during summer when males leave burrows in search of mates.

"The local funnel-webs are to be considered every bit as dangerous as the Sydney funnel-web,'' Dr Raven said.

"People should be on the alert for large black spiders walking during or after rain.

"Males actively search for females and wander at night, often during rain.''

He said they were large, black ground-dwelling spiders that quickly rise into the attack position with front legs raised and fangs open.

Any bite from a large black spider at these times should be treated with the utmost care, he said.

"When bitten by a funnel-web, death can occur within 15 minutes,'' Dr Raven said.

"If the victim has been envenomed, severe systemic distress which includes laboured breathing, vomiting, pupils fixed and dilated, is soon evident.''

Anyone bitten should immediately bandage the site and call an ambulance.

While southeast Queensland and northern NSW rainforests are the most common habitat, funnel-webs are also found in suburbs close to dense bushland in Brisbane.
