Just thought it would be good to add that the venom is very necrotic, kills flesh basically, much like loxosceles another member of sicariidae.
Well the physiology of a cricket is so different from our physiology, that this is basically irrelevant.The bitten crickets ( from Sicarius terrosus ) need a long time to die..
i keep and breed Sicarius cf. hahni. i bought some wc spiderlings direct from namibia. they were sold to me as S.hahni, but i haven't found an identification key yet, to be shure. unfortunately, there's not much information around about S.hahni.does any1 know anything more about S. hahni from experience
Supposedly Frank Somma had a sac produced by a female he bred with a male from the same import.S. terrosus have been imported into the u.s. im not aware of anyone here actually breeding or getting successful sacs from yet, or they didnt post about it. I've read of 3 bite reports 2 died and the third had his left arm completely rot off but I havent found an article about it. Very interesting species, youtube videos are fun to watch.
