WOW!

Doesn't look like it would kill me but it's still cool looking. I'll Google these for sure. Thanks for the pic......wait don't these and other ones in the same family as the infamous "Toe Biters" bite?

If this one does then what on earth are you doing holding one?! It might've killed you!

Shocked But....but....but....what about Caco?!

If this is the case then Steven you remind me of a scientist ( can't remember his name atm ) that purposely held a black widow spider and provoked it until it bit him just to see what the side effects were.......

.....he didn't die because he was treated almost instantly. Oh damn! I shouldn't have said that.....now you might get ideas......

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
