[xenesthis]

I've heard Latrodectus pallidus is found in Israel, but where and is it found in other countries of the Middle East?

Besides replying here, email me at: webmaster@tarantulaspiders.com

Yes, it is definitely found in Israel
from what i remember it is found from Libya through to Russia, so i guess Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Syria, Saudi, Lebanon etc
Maybe Turkey and Cyprus too?
