Huntsman Spider A common inhabitant of wooded areas, huntsman spider is spread in various globe areas with a climate ranging from tropical to semi-tropical; thus, you can find this species in Australia and New Zealand as well as in the United States or in Asia. Since the favorite habitat of the huntsman spider is the forest, in many parts of the world it is known as the wood spider. The hobo spider is often found in homes or in their vicinity and though the general reputation of the species is that of high aggressiveness, these creatures are very unlikely to attack a human being. You can only be exposed to a hobo spider bite in case you accidentally crush one; the bite is pretty painful due to the toxicity of the hobo spider venom. Yet, things are not that simple since a mere exposure to the venom of this spider can trigger a whole range of very unpleasant reactions. As it seldom happens for a person to suffer from a brown recluse spider bite, many doctors have difficulties in diagnosing certain symptoms that accompany it, very often such a bite can be even taken for a staphylococcus skin infection that is very similar in manifestation and symptoms. Many patients are yearly treated for the wrong affection because of the misidentification and misdiagnoses of spider bites. Since necrosis can appear in the worst of cases, doctors can sometimes take it for other skin problems caused by staphylococci or fungi. Hence, the ability to correctly identify spider bites is vital for the right treatment of necrosis. Unlike other regular spider species, the camel spider is both carnivorous and omnivorous: it basically feeds on other arthropods, but it is not uncommon for the camel spider to devour larger prey such as lizards. Lots of videos with the camel spider cutting its prey into pieces and then consuming it, have been uploaded on the Internet. It is actually very likely to take a skin infection with a staphylococcus for a brown recluse spider bite, hence it is good to know that such injuries are rare and accidental. Brown recluse spiders are small, with an overall adult size that does not go beyond twelve millimeters; males are small then females, but they have slightly larger feet.
