Easy comebacks ?

At work.

Nah, the big ones are harmless, it's the little fuckers who are deadly.

Technically it's both.

Funnel webs can get big enough their fangs will punch through thin leather. 'Sand-shoes' and the like.

A female that big will easily sit across the palm of your hand.

Now, 'White tail' spiders are 'Small'. An abdomen size akin to your average 'Daddy Long Legs'.

Now, while their bite isn't 'Fatal' per-sey. The necrotic, flesh eating effect is a tad hazardous.

Plus, the venom will easily (And has done) make a small/young child quite sick for a few days.... to a week.

Mouse spiders won't hurt you with their venom. But the web lairing females are large enough to have fang sizes comparable to funnel webs. Did I mention these big lady's make webs... generally in the open spaces between trees and brushes and/or fences? At about head hight?

So... fangs quite big enough to put descent, needle sized holes in you..... (At night. In the dark. Around your head height)

Then there are the Orb weavers. There are google images of these lady's with small lizards and birds in their webs/fangs.....

How are we doing for interest so far?



Cheers.
