Should I fear for my life ?

[silozT]

I found these spiders in my retaining wall after some rain . Would anyone be able to help identify them in case they’re life threatening ? (My boyfriend caught the brown one in a burrow below the webbed burrow in the video )

they are not life threatening

where [in the world] was this spider found?

Not sure what they are but they aren't life threatening. The dangers and likelihood of spider bites are vastly overblown.

they are great pest control, i'd keep them around

South Africa . First time seeing them though.

This is clearly some type of small mygalomorph, looks like a tiny tarantula. I would be thrilled to find these!

Beautiful spiders! Not too sure what they are, but I doubt their venom would pose any danger. But even if it is if you don't mess with them they won't mess with you.

Hope this helps!

they are beneficial to the environment, you are lucky to have natural pest controllers around.

Could be some Nemesiidae/Entypesidae species.

This really looks like a genuine baby tarantula to me. The "horn" on its back is particularly telling. And if OP lives in South Africa, they may very well have disrupted a tarantula nest. Tarantulas very much exist in South Africa.

We do have tarantulas but I only spotted these after some rain so maybe their nest got destroyed during some storms . Interesting to find them right outside my door lmao .thank you for the help

That seems quite accurate. Thank you for the help !
