Leucauge venusta photo
I went through your site and indentified my little spider friend,
Leucauga venusta. Thank you. This was taken next to a house wall in
central Florida in late August. Red spots.

Thank you for your beautiful image of an Orchard Spider, Leucauge venusta.
I’ve been trying to find out information on this type of spider but every time I click on a new person asking the same question the only reply is ” thank you for not killing it”. Or ” yes we do read every entry”. I visited 4 already with the same reply and no information weather or not it’s harmful to my kids playing in the back yard.
Please let me know if:
1. Is it poisonous?
2. Where is it most common?
3. How big do they grow?
Thank you.
I live in Louisiana and just found one. Are they poisonous?
We have these around our pecan orchard and yard, I was recently bitten by 1 and it hurt for a couple of hours, afterwards I had a headache and stomach ache.I was fine before getting the bite but it was a day 1 1/2 later before I felt ok..
