The Australian Reptile Park is eager to found out which suburb a giant funnel web spider was found in, after it was dropped off at a collection point at John Hunter Hospital.
The huge arachnid was dubbed by keepers as "Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson".
Keepers are hoping to find more of the large spiders for their antivenom program.
In January the Australian reptile park encouraged people to safely catch the venomous spiders, only after brushing up on the correct first aid should they be bitten, for their antivenom program.
The venom milked from the spiders saves up to 300 lives per year.
Recent rainy weather followed by intense heat has provided the perfect conditions for funnel web spiders to thrive.
Director of the Australian Reptile Park, Liz Gabriel, says "People can bring any collected spiders to the Reptile Park itself., however if they cant get to us we have drop of zones around the Central Coast and Newcastle."
"All facilities are provided with a spider safety kit to house the spiders until the Australian Reptile Park staff can come and pick them up."
