RE: Venomous animal spider

in #hive2 years ago

Excellent information on spiders! Almost all spiders are venomous, but venomous doesn't mean that they're harmful or medically significant. This spider is a huntsman spider, and while they're venomous, they're not medically significant to humans. So if she bites, it may hurt a little, but you won't get sick and you definitely won't die (unless you have an allergy, but that's very rare).

Still, it's always great advice to have people respect all animals, especially spiders (because they're my favourite, haha), and leave them alone. Not for fear of bites or venom, but because we are absolutely scary to spiders due to how large we are, even to the Goliath Birdeater or the Giant Huntsman in Australia. They seem so large to us, but they're not much larger than just our hand.

Thanks for sharing your spider and your knowledge with Hive!
