I didn't kill Boris! He jumped in my tub and drowned! I'd never kill a close friend!

I'm in Minnesota. We have brown lucose spiders which are quite poisonous and very keen on hiding in piles of clothes in houses. (how nice eh?) But I can't say if I've ever seen one, and if I did, I didn't recognize it as poisonous.

The most poisonous spider we have in this area is actually the daddy long legs. Fortunately they're fangs are too small to penetrate skin!

As far as what's poisonous and what's not, the general rule of nature is, if it's bright / bold etc. probably poisonous. :b

But that's an extremely vague rule of thumb....

Who?!? Couldn't be talking about me... :wink:
 
Ive heard about brown recluse but I think I read they werent really poisonus. The venum melts skin though so its best to have it looked after fast. I stayed in a friends back yard in MA back in '01 and they had recluses, so I was pretty paranoid in checking my tent and sleeping bag each night before going to sleep. :0)
 
Oh yeah there are several different kind of recluse spiders, the brown recluse is one of the more poisonous. It eats the flesh where the bite is and if not treated will keep rotting flesh and cause infection, fever and death if it's not taken care of. You have to have surgery to completely remove all infected tissue.
 
Back with some new stuff!
THe next generation of spiders is making thier debut.

Actually, Those last 2 are the "small little spiders" for this type of spider!

Here's another one of my favorites. I’m still hunting for different types of spiders, but all the other spiders I've found are camera shy :?
