Comments: This really portrays the spiders well. It shows each one's individual characteristics very well, and I thought it throughoughly explained each of them and how they are unique in their own way! I think the spiders would really appreciate the individualism! Great job! Thank you for making such a great page!

Comments: I live in Nebraska, and while doing some gardening, I noticed a weird looking spider web. It was funnel shaped and led up the base of our house. At the end of the funnel was a pretty big spider. Could it be a funnel-web spider? If not, what is it?

Phrase: Fantastic!
Comments: I think you are mistaken when you say that the male black widow usally has 2 red marks on its under side. Not about that but beside that comitt you showed a picture of a female Black widow, not a male. Hi, I would like to introduce my self as Jessica Jefferson, Keeper of the black widows. I am 14 years old and live in California in a desert called Borrego Springs. I hunt, catch, and keep as pets black widow spiders. I have had over 2011 black widow spiders at once. I have about 2-5 books on them and I can almost tell you any thing about them. I am working on knowing every thing I can about the venomous spiders of the world. So tell me this, I heard that the Australian Funnel Web is the most deadly and you have written otherwise. Can you tell me where you get your information on this? And one other thing I really would appreciate if you personally e-mailed me back. I truly think this page is great and I would like to know the person or persons who put it together. I looked for an e-mail sight but didn't find one. Please write back to me soon. You have my address. I'll check in later. Thank you and good bye.

Comments: I've got white tailed spiders crawling up my soon to be born baby's mosquito net. They have the look of anticipation and I'm sure they're not waiting to give presents. Your page, I'm sure will mean a 'for sale' sign appearing when my wife reads it.
A great page but there appears to be quite a bit of conflicting statements in sections and some of the information seems to fall into the 'urban myth' catagory rather than the scientific basket. Eg. has any scientist ever tested the poison of the daddy long legs to find out if it really is dagerous or has the story grown just because people have seen them kill red backs? I hope year six finds you well. Thanks a lot.

Well done crew, it's a really informative web page, you should be very proud of yourselves. Thanks again for your help. Kim (editor)
