ozimoron Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just now, still kicking said: Do you have them in LOS? We have them in Australia. They live for many years and often in bathrooms in the tropics. I think they would also be endemic to Thailand since the latitude where I come from is the same as Pattaya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jak2002003 Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2022 They are not venomous...and I used to think they were harmless and would pick them up to throw them out into the garden. But one did bite me and left 2 red marks where it's fangs went into my finger. Now I always use an upturned glass to catch them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntsman spiders are venomous but the venom is generally harmless to humans. In fact all spiders except for a few small groups are venomous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
