Re: Spiders

Nasty stuff there! Here in western Washington we have the Hobo spiders; also poisonous. Fairly common
tunnel weaver and not actually agressive to people unless buggered with.

Luckily, we also have a large spider called the agressive house spider and, though it can bite, it doesn't
pack the wollup of the Hobo. Big, nasty looking guys but we are lucky we have these spiders as the Hobo
is one of it's common prey and they are slowly nudging out the Hobo population.

This one is male. Females are larger and don't have the bulbous things on the front of them.
