I am a kid so I am not sure but I am looking g in books and trying to see the eyes pattern but I cant quite but I think maybe a wandering type spider but the colors dont match my pitures right but close shapes I think
You’re correct. This does appear to be a Wandering Spider. The markings seem to match the genus Kiekie the best.
Yay! Thank you I was wundering! also a some more are medical signfcant biters but um, do you know if this one too? I looked up your science name on the intnet but I cant find it what I want to know. Thank you
My understanding is that most Wandering Spiders do not have medically significant venom. When it comes to the Brazilian Wandering Spider genus, Phoneutria, I believe I have heard the arachnologist Tom Patterson state that out of the dozen or so species in the genus, only 3 or 4 of them have medically significant venom. A lot of them will have nasty bites but only a minority of them have serious bites that will require medical attention.
Thank you!
You’re doing an awesome job! Here’s another source for eye pattern charts https://bugguide.net/node/view/84423 Because it is from BugGuide it only covers spiders that are in USA and Canada.
