sorensen Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Can anybody name this spider and is it poisonous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaethon Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I name this spider Itsy-Bitsy... Huntsman spider, although this one is very red. Is it poisonous? No, perfectly safe to eat. It is venomous though, but shy and not considered dangerous to humans. Females of some spp. can be aggressive give a nasty bite if cornered and defending eggs.

phaethon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 it is a Huntsman, I am soooooooooo scared of spiders. I think these ones Jump as well. I too get very edgy around spiders, but find them intriguing in pictures/images, from a safe distance or with some plate glass between us. Their structure and habits are fascinating but when reading about them, especially at a desk, I get restless feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answer and good that we got this Huntsman spider named Itsy-Bitsy (VERT FYNNY) I came across this spider while walking in the jungle in Borneo.

I have found a picture of a similar spider (2nd on the below link), but still not 100% if it is a Huntsman: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=66511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
