Are orchid spiders poisonous? I live in Tampa Florida and I have so many of them, at least I believe that is what they are… please let me know. Thank you
Orchid Spiders like most spiders are venomous. The venom is not considered dangerous to human. In the unlikely event that a person is bitten, we would say that chances are very high that a bite would result in not much more than local swelling, redness and itchiness.
I get bit all the time. Feels like a bad bug bite. Tampa
