Does anybody have knowledge of the Gnaphosid spider? I don't know if there are many different kinds, so the one I'm referring to is the one below.
In particular, I want to know what their bites look like and/or what their venom (if any) can do to you. I'm 99.99% sure my face lost a fight to one of these spiders one night, as my apartment is infested with them. Poor fella, my chin probably almost squished him...
I could only find male/female comparisons, and descriptions of their webs and spinners, so if anyone knows of a good site, I'd really appreciate it. When I look up "gnaphosid spider bite" I get all kinds of bite pictures from Black Widows and the Brown Recluse. Obviously my bites aren't as bad as either of those, but they've scarred my face in several spots. These spiders aren't as high profile as the B.R. and B.W., so it took a long time for me to even identify it.
Thanks in advance for y'alls help!
