Are these guys even capable of threat postures?@Beef queen I'm genuinely curious, when you said that the spider was "very aggressive," what did you mean? I've never seen these guys show even the slightest sign of aggression (other than toward their prey, I guess).
I doubt it. I've handled them before with no problems, and I've only ever seen them flee from stimuli, even when taken out of their webs. That's why I'm so curious, haha.Are these guys even capable of threat postures?
I’ve noticed that people will interpret normal spider behavior as being aggressive. Such examples include: running in your direction by chance or moving their front legs around.@Beef queen I'm genuinely curious, when you said that the spider was "very aggressive," what did you mean?

That's what I was going to say - probably moved in the op's direction.I’ve noticed that people will interpret normal spider behavior as being aggressive. Such examples include: running in your direction by chance or moving their front legs around.

Probably mistook how industrious those tykes are when web building. Busy busy busy.I’ve noticed that people will interpret normal spider behavior as being aggressive.
theye uesto be orb weavers , but not anymore. I have lived in South American countries a month a year for 20 years , only time I saw aggressive spiders like this in Venezuela at my friends place . They were poor but showed me how they stand on the back legs and attack and said never to touch one .my son seen one at night , he had to pee and there was a huge one on the floor going for my dog queen . He tried to kill it and it stood on back legs and went for him . I killed it , but it’s body was like leather boot. It’s head like a brick .It's an orb weaver for sure, likely genus Larinioides.
If those were really Phoneutria spiders (such P.nigriventer) you wouldn't had been here typingJust noticed this year the home is infested with these spiders . They only come out at night and are very aggressive, viscous and I believe we keep getting bit.
Like I said , I’ll take another video at night ,Again, those are orb weavers, completely harmless. It would not even be possible for a Phonuetria to travel from south America to Canada, Canada would not exactly be the most hospitable environment for them anyway and after more than a few months in the wild they all would have died (assuming there was more than one.) I think you actually just described the plot of the movie Arachnophobia. Also, a species breeding with a different species would not create a subspecies, it makes a hybrid. Besides, the spiders you posted pictures of are too genetically different from Phobuetria to produce offspring, the size different alone would probably end with the orb weavers dead during a mating attempt.
I’m not afraid of spiders but I am of these and so is anyone I showed it too . The paramedics said that it possible but they didn’t know where to take it . They suggest a exterminator right away . The egg sacs r not like other spiders, they more like a cocoon with tiny spiders that stay in there for awhile. My photos I posted were not good . I will do more tonight.Again, those are orb weavers, completely harmless.

They have found tiger Miskito in the ministry traps so it possible that tropical things can very well survive here .
Especially if they get in in winter. I have a lot of rooms that r closed off , voids in the home if you will that was like this when I bought it . Don’t even wanna know what’s inside.
The attic is like s loft and I see light from a roof corner , so they could very well be inside as the one that was headed for my French bulldog was in the bedroom. The dogs have had huge blisters the size of my hand & sometimes wake up screaming. Been to vet many times and nothing wrong w dogs , she said it could very well be the spiders and to exterminate also .
I’ll post another video tonight but sometimes I have problems w service but after u see the spiders alive then you will see what I mean , they all have the same mark on underside regardless of size & colour . And it’s the mark underneath and the viscous ness that makes me wonder what they really are . There’s no way all different types of spider would have the same mark .
Nope, not all spiders do. And spiders ‘tear each other apart’ because they’re not always communal. The leg thing is a display so they don’t have to bite and expend unnecessary energy, no spider is going to bite you for no reason.I just noticed these things recently and somthing is not right .
What r some identifying features of venomous spiders?
And why do they do that leg thing and attack ?
And they even tear each other apart when put together.
Do all spiders leave huge blisters and give a guy a bone for hrs? That’s why the paramedics were alarmed. Then they seen the spiders alive on the home siding . They didn’t wanna get near the things .
I don’t wanna kill them for nothing , I don’t like killing anything alive but they r nasty things , if after the video I post you still think orbs then why so aggressive ? I thought orbs harmless and actually good to rid home of bugs .I just noticed these things recently and somthing is not right .
