Brazilian Wandering Spider

Biggest Spiders: Brazilian Wandering Spider

The next time you happen to find yourself lost in a tropical rainforest in South America, resist the urge to pet this spider with 6-inch long legs that are about the size of your hand. This one’s so fast and aggressive it doesn’t bother to build a web but just chases its prey down. It’s packing one of the most toxic spider venoms on the planet. In people, it can cause unspeakable pain, paralysis, and sometimes death.

East African Jumping Spider

:cowboy:

The East African jumping spider, Evarcha culicivora, is a small spider that preys on blood-fed mosquitoes. It's also known as the vampire spider because it prefers blood-fed mosquitoes.

I hope there was a clause in his contract for: "There will be a $100,000 bonus if said producers or director accidentally inflicts any undue emotional stress or trauma on said actor during the filming process."

The ant-mimicking jumping spider Myrmarachne formicaria, found throughout North America, walks in a winding path, just like an ant following a chemical trail. They pause frequently to briefly raise their forelegs into an antennae-like posture.  

Even though the red-spotted ant mimic spider is a rather aggressive spider, it usually targets small insects or ants and not humans or pets. In case a bite occurs, it is not dangerous to humans. The area of the bite may turn red and it may cause some swelling, comparable to a bee sting.
