HOT species

[julesaussies]

It's actually from the genus harpactirella that the "hot" lightfooti comes. Apparentlly quite common too.

WOW! I was surprised to see this very old thread resurface!

According to an article in the Arachne (the magazine of the German Arachnid Society DeArGe) by Tobias Dörr the most dangerous T's for humans are the following:
1. Poecilotheria regalis, P. ornata, P. fasciata, P. pederseni
2. Ornithoctonus huwena (in the meantime transferred to Haplopelma huwenum)
3. Stromatopelma calceatum
4. Brachypelma emilia
(see Arachne 10-4, July 2004, pages 10 - 24,ISSN 1613-2688)

Brachypelma emilia? Weird. The others I agree could be the most dangerous for us. Although I've read reports from Hysterocrates that were impressive...
