Every spider has a venom of some sort, if Im not mistaken the most poisonous spider in the world is is the daddy long leg. I guess they just dont have big enough pincers to pierce ones skin. Gah I hate spiders! They make me scream like a little girl.
This is an urban legend. They are quite harmless, and are not true spiders at all, but instead "harvestman."

What can I say...I like bugs.

I've heard this circulating, but it's not true. It's a very mild venom.
 
I used to breed Praying Mantis when I was in college. That is the only insect I will ever touch. Theres just something about them that just gets me. They are beautiful insects.

I love mantids. Wanted to try to keep them previously, but couldn't find any...and was afraid to have them shipped....you know, laws and all that stuff.

I've always been deathly afraid of these, my mother would yell at me not to touch cause it would bite.. is this true?
 
Yeah luckily in my state they are a wild specimin so its all good getting eggs shipped to me. It sucks they only live for a few months though. I was able to line breed some pure stunners.

They can bite yeah if you piss them off lol. But when they are pissy thats when they flare their wings and show off. its awesome. But other than that no they are harmless, except to other bugs haha.
