Thank you! It was released outside without incident. Thank you very much, learned something new today. So we were told to get rid of her. Spider bites do not spread the way rashes spread. Also, spiders only bite if a human pinches them.

They wouldn't bite a person 14 times--they just dont do that type of thing. It sounds like your dr misdiagnosed your husbands condition. Though not notably poisonous, the fact that these spiders will bite sleeping people is a risk of not only allergic reaction, but also for opportunistic infection.

I have had series of bites that ended with waking up to finding a Parson's spider in my bed a few times. I no longer hesitate to kill members of this species since an individual will find its way back to the area in which it was previously feeding.

Spiders do not feed on human beings. It is not even biologically possible. It is not even scientifically possible. Can you keep parson spiders as pets, if so what do they eat. Because I had caught one put it in a container with holes and a cricket it never ate the cricket.

As far as I know you can keep Parson spiders as pets. They will eat insects. If it didn't eat the cricket you provided it may not have been hungry, or the cricket may have been too large, or it may have been stressed from being captured and placed in a container. Try putting it in a critter keeper and creating areas where it can hide. Provide a very shallow dish of water so it won't drown. Give it small crickets, cockroaches, mealworms, etc. Well, spider people of the world About 3 years ago, I had an infestation the worst the bug guy had seen of Brown Recluse in my house and garage and it was a mess, because I have a lot of stuff!

I don't mind spiders So, I was reared with spider people, although I don't care for them, I don't try to find and kill them. I leave them alone and they normally leave me alone Couldn't really see the white on his back Thanks for the good pictures Thanks again Joyce. I'm not sure how often they eat, but I would guess it would depend on the size of the spider it dined on. Bigger meals will sustain it longer. If it is feeding on the store bought tan crickets, I would think one or two medium sized crickets would do per week.

This species prowls mostly at night, and I find it fairly commonly around buildings, hoping to prey on small insects attracted to outdoor lights. It climbs well, so can be seen well off the ground. By day, it hides under loose bark, or stones, boards, and other debris on the ground. Specimens that enter homes at night may seek refuge in clothing, shoes, and other objects.

Rarely do symptoms exceed mild inflammation. This is a mid-size spider, females ranging from 6. Males are 4. The spinnerets are prominent in both genders, a characteristic of the family Gnaphosidae. Each spinneret is like a showerhead, with many tiny orifices through which silk is extruded. Look for it in deciduous woodlands.

Mature specimens of this spider can be found year-round, suggesting it is fairly long-lived. Mated females spin an egg sac in autumn. The case is flat, and deposited in a silken retreat where the mother guards it.
