only leaving you with a bit of pain from the bite if they feel threatened.
Ouch!
Great write up on this species. Spiders are creepy but cool.

Thanks! Yeah, the bite is a little sore, but not so bad. They are indeed really cool. The creepy thing is apparently an inherited phobia of sorts from long ago when arachnids were a little more harmful than they are today. But like any fear, getting more knowledge on them erases the fear.
I also imagine that in the ancient past, when we did not have the protection of modern civilization, we were in bigger danger of a negative interaction with spiders, particularly in warm tropical climates. I found this excellent article on prehistoric spiders.
