Because of its high adaptability to the environment, it will cling very easily thanks to its articulate legs. Thus, if you get a huntsman spider on your clothes, you'll find it pretty difficult to shake it off. Far from being seen as a threat to humans, the huntsman spider is pretty useful since it mainly feeds on insects. Hobo spiders definitely do not deserve the label of aggressiveness, and presently, there are trends of opinion among scientists related to the real danger of this species for humans: there are some who actually claim that hobo spiders are no threat to humans. The only time when hobo spiders are really dangerous is when they are laying their eggs, particularly if they see you as a threat to their future siblings. Presently, there are all sorts of devices that allow people to catch and analyze the spiders that live in their homes so as to find out whether they are poisonous or not. Quality photos or drawings as well as proper descriptions of the species are necessary when trying to distinguish between the various spiders that live so very close to us. A bite exposes the victim to a whole series of unpleasant symptoms that require immediate medical intervention. Nevertheless, extreme attitudes towards poisonous spiders give rise to phobias and the urge to destroy their nests even in the wild. Keep in mind the fact that these creatures will not attack unless they feel threatened, as a human is no prey for their match. The severity of spider bites is determined according not only to the species to which the aggressor belongs, but to the amount of venom that is injected by the spider. Thus, when a spider is trying to subdue its prey, the venom amount depends on the size of its meal, whereas, in a defensive venom release, the spider will do anything to protect itself and its nest. For such cases spider identification is not necessary; but we cannot say the same thing about the widow spiders that require the immediate use of an anti-venom. Therefore, spider identification can be crucial when you need to be able to apply the right treatment without any further delay. Spiders that live outdoors are more difficult to identify due to the large number of species both harmful and venomous.
