Comments: I've been biten by a spider before and I wasn't around medical help. I didn't find out what kinda spider it was because I was to busy trying to get it off me. It was a small spider that look like it had a tan. the only effect it had on me was effecting my kidney's (making me use the restroom more regularly than other times).

I have not only bookmarked the page but e-mailed it to many friends with children  who I'm sure would love to browse around, learn and have fun. Being that my son's class is studying spiders, I have also recommended they take a look at this site for future reference within their school.

Comments: Hello there! My name is Holly and I'm the mother of three young children. We live
in the United States at the time of this writing. I used to be TERRIFIED of spiders. When we
moved into our home which is built in a very sandy area, we found that we had visitors of the
arachnid kind. We now live in harmony with our "Wolfies". They are called Wolf Spiders because
they are brown and slightly fuzzy. They are not poisonous and the bites only itch a little when
you get one. I've been bitten a few times if one happened to be resting in the couch when I sat
down. But they do their part to keep bugs away and I am not afraid of them anymore. They are
about as big around as the palm of my hand.

Comments: Heartily impressed with the info within, and the source is grand Schoolkids and teachers (a source under-appreciated) the best knowledge is earned knowledge Hey, I'm staring at this spider, might be an Anareus (sp?) brown and white alternating color on legs, which have small but visible spines, small, odd-shaped abdomen, pear-like?, somewhat diamond shaped central body which rolls round from top to under to join together in a crease, brown, dark brown patterns, with white streak or white uneven strip down upper center and abdomen. Really wish the digitial camera was working, this is an interesting and bold spider! would love to have you tell me what it really is. All I know, Northern California species, at least the length of adult female humans tip of thumb to first knuckle, fully extended, dropping from web maybe even knuckle and a half maybe two...big enough to relocate to the great outdoors. It was pleasant to find this site and forgive the babbling over this one single spider.

Comments: I'm fortunate to have a large picture window in my office and just outside a lovely
yellow and black spider has built a web in the corner. I get to watch her everyday through my
window and it's fascinating. She is large with legs ar least 1 and a half inches long with a
yellow and black striped abdomen. Just now she is sucking on a very large horsefly that got
caught in her web. I'd like very much to know what kind she is, so I searched the web for an
identification page and found this site. It's lovely. Have a great day!

Comments: I found what I believe to be either a black widow spider or a red-back spider in the heart of the panhandle of the state of Nebraska (United State of America), ie. Scottsbluff, Ne. to be more exact; out in the vicinity of Lake Minitare road, north of Scottsbluff. It had what looked like an irregular red stripe on its back rather than on its abdomen or what looked like two to three adjoining hour glass shapes down the middle of its black back. I have seen this same particular species on at least two or three other occasions previously elsewhere in this same region. I wish I knew exactly what it was called. I think it could either be another version or a closely related species of the black widow, or at least my guess would be more closely related to the northern black widow (Just exactly how many versions are there of the black widow and what are the possibilities of there being hybrid versions perhaps from lack of potential mates due to the obvious reasons of getting eaten shortly after mating?). Either way it must be venomous and I wonder if it is as dangerous and as nasty as the black widow? It spins its web in almost the same way as I understand the black widow does from what I could see. Within the same vicinity I also found a brown spider about half the size of the other one with no clearly visible markings; could this possibly be a male of this same species? One that has not yet met his inevitable fate. It is scary to think that if there is one it is a very good possibility there are more of the same species especially if they lay 200 - 300 eggs at a time. I sure would like to learn more about this particular species, or even about both of the previously mentioned species for that matter. Do you have any good tips? Thanks for everything. This has proven to be a very educating most beneficial experience surfing the info you have posted on the 'Net here. Have a great day! T.H.

Comments: Just wanted to let you know how much your website has helped me and my little boy,
"B" (age 6). B has been very interested in spiders for about 2 years, but I didn't know enough
to teach him. This year we decided to homeschool him for the 1st grade and I have been
searching the Web for information for our science time. Your website has given me the
information I needed to teach him some really COOL facts about spiders. Thank you SOOO much for
your really hard work...And YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB!!!!!

Comments: Hi Kids!
Thanks for all the hard work and info you have made available to us! I think...I came to the web to find out what a brown recluse looks like. Thanks for showing me one; now I know I've never seen one in "spider". I also came here because I need to go into the garage and get a few things from the stacks and piles that remain from our recent move to a new house. Thinking spiders may have already moved in, and being afraid of the little critters, I thought I'd arm myself with knowledge, which often dispels fear. Unfortunately, after looking at all these spiders and reading about the poisenous ones, I'm so freaked out about them that I don't want to go to the garage at all! We moved here two weeks ago and my husband had to leave the next day for a month long sea trip. I think my "trip" to the garage will have to wait for his return.
Signed,
Hopeless in Florida
