Brazilian Wandering Spiders aka Banana Spiders

from the above link:

These spiders are extremely fast, extremely venomous, and extremely aggressive and are ranked among the most venomous spiders known to man. In fact, the Brazilian Wandering Spider is the most venomous spider in the New World!

The Brazilian Wandering Spider has another name - the Banana Spider and it was given this name because there have been cases where these spiders unintentionally appeared on banana boats heading for the United States.

"I am a wildlife and socio ecological photographer and I am currently digitizing images for the Interactive Learning Centre (ILC) in the New Life Sciences Gallery at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM). I recently had an opportunity to photograph a large tropical spider that was donated to the RSM after it was found in a shipment of bananas at a local grocery store. The donor, not wanting to identify the store and possibly alarm its customers, did not provide any information about where the bananas and the spider came from."
