Comments: Thank you for the great photos and descriptions of all of the spiders. We have a
large brown spider living in our small garden in a tidy web. He has never bothered us, except
that his web straddles our walkway. We've come to enjoy his presence, though, and we check on
his progress frequently. We were a little concerned that it might be a brown recluse, because we
didn't know what they look like and we live in a dry area they might favor. But after seeing the
pictures on your site, we are pleased to know that it isn't. Our spider looks more like your
photo of the tent spider, so perhaps they're related somehow. In any case, thank you for putting
our minds at ease about our spider friend. I had a lovely time reading about your class pet
also! Such brave students!

spiders. I did live in Brisbane in 1988 and had enough spider's (huntsman, orb-weavers) around
to cure (semi) me of my arachnophobia. I even had a huntsman chase a cockroach over my legs
when watching tele one evening. Aah! Another time, my girlfriend came to visit from the states
and we went to a Bachelors and Spinster's Ball in Miles. We stayed in an old Federal Style
house, and she wanted to know why there was a can of Raid on the nightstand. I said, "You know
those Aussies, always having a go at you!". Good thing see didn't see the great big eight
legged thing crawling across the bed sheet! TA

My question is have you heard about the e-mail regarding a spider that builds it's web on
toilet seats in public restraurants?
This could only be a joke. But here goes, apparently the South American Blush Spider,
(arachnius gluteus) has killed people in Chicago. I'm getting a little tired of these bogus WARNING e-mails. I
wanted to get proof so I could tell my easily fooled friends to stop believing everything they
read from e-mail.

Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend.

"SERIOUSLY: WATCH WHERE YOU SIT! 
If you haven't already heard about it in the news, here is what happened. 3 women in Chicago, turned up at hospitals over a 5 day  period, all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. There were  no outward signs of trauma. Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know each other, and seemed to have nothing in common. It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same restaurant(Big Chappies, at Blare Airport), within days of their
deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to  no avail. The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was
 rushed to the hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She did not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom.
That is when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to the restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under the seat, out of normal view, was small spider. The spider was
captured and brought back to the lab, where it was determined to be the South American Blush Spider (arachnius gluteus), so named because of its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but can
take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp, climates, and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere. Several days later a lawyer from Los Angeles showed up at a hospital emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been away on business, had taken a flight from New York, changing
 planes in Chicago, before returning home. He did not visit Big Chappies  while there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined to be a puncture wound, on his right buttock. Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in South America. The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an
immediate inspection of the toilets of all flights from South America, and discovered the Blush spider's nests on 4 different planes! It is now believed that these spiders can be anywhere in the country. So  please, before you use a public toilet, lift the seat to check for spiders.  It can save your life! And please pass this on to everyone you
 care about!

Comments: I am an elementary teacher. My class has a pet tarantula named "Lisa Marie". I
have had her for 6 years. Right now we are working on a spider unit at school. I decided to
buy Lisa Marie to help me get over my terrible fear of Daddy Long Legs. I thought if I could get
use to a tarantula, I could learn to tolorate Daddy Long Legs. It didn't work. I enjoy picking
up my tarantula, but wouldn't pick up a Daddy Long Legs for any amount of money. I can thank my
brother for this fear!

Comments: I live in Washington State, and I think I may have found a Black widow in my garage.
is this possible? The spider is elusive and crawls into a crack next to the window by its web,
so I have yet to make a positive on the underbelly. If anyone knows please let me know. Thank
you
