Steve Not "may be" -- all jumping spiders are poisonous so if you are a tiny soft-bodied insect then you really need to be careful around them. If you are human, on the other hand, virtually every spider has fangs too small to pierce human skin and many that could seem to do so rarely and with minimal effects. Thus, people who keep large tarantulas as pets. Sure, if you actually live someplace with one of the few dangerous and aggressive spiders, parts of Oz for example, you learn to be careful but no jumping spiders are about to harm you even there. I live in the southern US and black widow spiders are common here. I have actually brushed up against them while on a tall ladder doing home maintenance and have yet to be envenomated. Not to say that it might not happen some day so I will keep my eyes open but their mere presence won't keep me from getting out of bed in the morning. |
