Is the banana spider the same as the deadly black tarantula?
OK, nobody is answering exactly what you’re asking. Here is the answer… The “banana spider” is actually called a Brazilian Wandering Spider. It is referred to as a banana spider because it is occasionally found as a “stowaway” within shipments of bananas. This spider is HIGHLY venomous, and a bite can be life-threatening. The “deadly” black tarantula is not deadly to humans. A bite from it usually will only cause any problems if you have an allergic reaction to the venom. So, no, they are not the same spider. The “banana spider” CAN be deadly, while the tarantula is not.
