Just moved in to an old apartment complex, did not see the spider there before. It has been raining lately. How bad is it if you get bit by one of these. Bigger than a quarter.
It’s a female orbweaver spider. They should just be gently escorted to the outdoors to hunt and mate. She won’t try to bite you unless it is in self-defense. I don’t know anyone who has been bitten by an orbweaver. There’s a possibility of allergic reaction, as with any bite from any little critter, that’s up to your body’s immune system. Basically, it isn’t worth worrying about for most people and most spiders. Hope that’s helpful.
