Caught this huge spider a few years ago. Im not sure of the exact species. I took a few pictures before releasing it back into the wild.

lol

majority of the time, brown recluses cant even bite hard enough to inject the venom correctly. they usually just fuck up the skin where they bit.

How do you know which spiders are fatal or not? Do you just have to know the species?

The "black" widow and brown recluse are really the only poisionous spiders in the us, and neither are really fatal unless you're feeble or a small child.

Mostly correct except the Hobo spider is also dangerous and in the United States.

Maybe only 2, but there are over 200 species dangerous to humans.

I'm pretty sure there are species in the US that have very poisonous venom, but aren't strong enough to puncture human skin.

And no, I don't mean Cellar spiders.

I hate people who kill spiders because they're pussies they eat insects and shit like that. I love spiders

Daddy-Longlegs are one of the most poisonous spiders, but their fangs are too short to bite humans.

:lol

Really hope you were joking...What we call Daddy Longlegs are actually harvestman, and are not spiders and are not poisonous.
