would you kill a poisonious spider?

Crazy. I bet its trying to confuse us - probably a cobweb weaver hiding in an old orb weavers web.

I've had a couple of these as pets in California -

But they weave cobwebs not orbs.

Not bad California reference table here http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/spiders/
 
i read about it today when i was looking to find out whether this thing is poisonous. it said 1-2 inches. mine is about that size as well.

do these live a long tiem? LOL i was hoping it was gone but then I saw it again today...
 
I got bit by a jumping spider once, and it put me in bed for 3 days - I was very very sick. I was told I have an extreme reaction to spider venom, like a serious allergy, and that a spider that would make someone else sick would kill me. So while you guys worry about Black Widows or Recluses, I'm worried about ALL of them ALL the time.

I suffer no spiders in my environment, bad for my health. Kill the bastard for the good of the world, even if you have to torch the tree.

...is it like that with bee stings too, or just spiders? cuz I got kinda sick from a spider bite in Florida, But I didn't see what kind of spider...then a few years later I got the same symtoms from a wasp or hornet of some kind...again, I didn't get a good look at it...but I was just as sick.
 
spider like that almost caused me to wreck my truck a couple of weeks ago, I thought I was a goner :-) I make mrs sunnyboy kill 'em, I know that may be pussy of me but she doesn't mind and neither do I :peace:

My buddy got bit by a brown recluse spider and he almost lost his arm. It was the hastiest thing I have ever seen. Kill it! Cuz you never know.
 
I dunno, if the web is high and it's a non-aggressive, not-seriously gonna bite you type spider..maybe it's doing some good? They do eat a lot of pests.
