spider id please

[kakariki]

Thanks. I didn't actually mean deadly. I meant nasty symptoms as with the white tip. I got bitten by something [ many moons ago ] and my arm went numb for some weeks. No nasty sores or anything just numbness to the point of pain if anything touched it. I wondered if it was a black house spider.

I agree, house spiders are not aggressive. My house is absolutly covered in them. The heat kills them when it hits about 38 degrees. Its the only cull apart from minor birds we get and happens about twice a year. Oh yeah and when I sweep the walls and verandah ceilings to get rid of the webs, they drop and run. Do you get them in New York mrs croft? Are they ferals from America?

Jordan - Sorry I re-read that post - I gave incorrect information about agression.
