Nice link, sir...underlines the inaccuracy of the dreaded Hobo's "necrotic venom" very well.

its funny that growing up in Wa the T.A. is almost like the boogyman...and full of crazy stories. Is the T.agrestis the only "toxic to humans" tegenaria?

I think you need to detail what you mean by "toxic to humans", other wise no agrestis is one species of every other Tegenaria species that is.
