Spiderswhat is this??
hello!
I found one of these in the summer (barrie ontario), and found another one today. i put it in a glad container.. do you know what it is? are they poisonous? what would I do if I got bitten? It has HUGE eyes, and moves its head around when I move a pen around near it. What would he eat? Any info you have would be awesome.. thanks so much

Hi Erica,
This is a Jumping Spider in the Family Salticidae. These fascinating spiders do not build webs, have excellent eyesight, and pounce on their prey. All spiders have poison, but few species are actually harmful. Few will bite. Jumping Spiders are benign creatures.
