I've only seen maybe 3 wandering spiders in my lifetime, and I lived basically in the jungle.<br /><br />I don't mean to scare you, but yes, the brown recluse and the black widow, which are the other 2 of the America's top 3 can both be found in the US. <br /><br />People say that there is always a spider within 6 feet from you. I don't know if that is true, but if it is, and you can live your life without having any spider incidents, it only goes to show how they really don't want trouble.BugLadyhttp://www.phoneutria.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-24501332561018654852010-01-15T15:09:57.933-08:002010-01-15T15:09:57.933-08:00I think you need to add a "terrifying" c...I think you need to add a "terrifying" checkbox below your posts for these kinds of spiders! :)Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547406616756233807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-21968054098948075442010-01-13T20:16:57.236-08:002010-01-13T20:16:57.236-08:00I'm afraid of spiders as it is.

They are pretty common in barns, and even in urban areas too.<br /><br />And yes, Brazil is worth any possible spider adventures.<br /><br />Que saudades do Brasil :)BugLadyhttp://www.phoneutria.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-59528105216940148492010-01-11T18:43:57.710-08:002010-01-11T18:43:57.710-08:00In Brazil, the neurotoxic action of the venom of s...In Brazil, the neurotoxic action of the venom of spider is very small, although the bite is painful there is no risk of death. If you come to Brazil beware the spider Loxosceles that is a really petite but makes a much greater damage, causing necrosis in the bite site and may lead the victim to death. Still worth getting to know my country Brazil is sensational.SilviaHellfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168982288764694990noreply@blogger.com
