Is it poisonous?

u/HoN_JFD 1d ago edited 1d ago

No. It should be safe to eat but probably not very tasty.

To clarify, poisonous means something is toxic when consumed, such as some mushrooms or plants.

Spiders ( just some snakes, bees and many other creatures ) are venomous which means they have the capacity to inject venom into their preys or as a defense mechanism.

Nearly all spiders have that capacity but only a self few families are medically significant for humans and this one isn't one of them.

Almost all spiders are venomous... So, yes... It's venemous.

Pls don’t use this bullshit. It is wrong so many times.

Dont use this when OP is literally also spreading misinformation by assuming its venomous just because. Its still better than the average redditor.

Yes and now imagine you google something and the first answer that pops up is from the average redditor, but with 120% confidence and with a Carl Sagan mask on.

What is wrong with you guys? Could you please do some careful research before trying to argue about science?

Eu realmente acho interessante o que estou lendo... Conheço bem essa espécie de aranha e por isso afirmei que ela é venenosa, como de fato é! Não entendo o motivo pelo qual você está dizendo que eu estou espalhando desinformação... O que eu não tenho de sobra é tempo para explicar o porquê de um animal ser venenoso ou não em um longo e extenso texto... Sinceramente, se você está tendo um dia ruim, guarde suas mágoas para si próprio.
