(besides the legs) There venom is extremely deadly, however their fangs are to small to peirce through human skin so they are harmless to humans This spider eats flys and other insects. They trap them in there webs, bind them with more web, and then bite them. They reproduce sexually.When the spider bites it’s prey, it injects venom and digestive enzymes.

I found the pattern on his back to be quite interesting! I also noticed that he's missing a leg!!
