According to snopes (if you can believe snoped, heh) the camel spider photo was fake, or more accurately, an optical illusion. It looked big because it was being held up close to the camera but appeared to be more distant.
For more fake but still NOPE action, and a LOL...

Australia: More deadly reptiles and invertebrates than any other country/continent. By far. But this one doesn’t seem to be any danger to humans.

While living in Australia in 1976-78, I woke up one morning to have one crawling up the wall next to my head. Yes, I woke very fast.
A year later I was in Tasmania when one dropped from a porch onto my tie. Wide tie - but the Huntsman was bigger. Flicked it off quick.

50” screen here. That is one terrifyingly large spider.

Correct. The greater danger comes from the plate glass door I would run through or possibly the window I would jump out of upon encountering this relatively benign monster.

Every spider in the world has some kind of venom they use to paralyze their prey except certain species of tarantulas, if I remember correctly. So yes, tarantulas are probably among the least harmful to humans of all spider species. It’s funny how they’re also probably the ugliest and scariest.

Spiders are mostly benign except for Black Widows and Brown Recluse.
I have had spider bites that just leave a blue bruise for a few days and itch.................
