What Spider is this?
What Spider is this? And what its bite index?
Hi, this is a Huntsman Spider (Sparassidae, Heteropoda sp.). Like most spiders they have venom but are unlikely to bite except in self defense and are not considered to be of medical significance, everyone’s immune system is different though.
Thank you
The Bite Index of many large spiders is about the same as that of a hornet sting.
