1. the term you're thinking of is venomous, not poisonous; if it bites you and it injects toxins, it's venomous. if you bite it and you get sick, it's poisonous. 2. all spiders are to some extent, venomous- it's just that it's to an extent that doesn't effect us as humans...

just because they don't share the venom toxicity of other spiders doesn't mean they have no venom toxicity period. like i said, all spiders have venom as thats how they stun their prey. all spiders have venom, most spiders don't have venom that affects us as humanspic.twitter.com/WzXLwUb8XK

to say it's "not poisonous" (venomous) is an inaccurate statement and I know I'm arguing semantics, but this is extremely basic spider stuff. half the interest of this post is a supposedly non-venomous spider, which... Y'know. Isn't true.

Not all spiders posses venom. Uloboridae lack any venom glands.

hoh shit, you're right. but i'm not wrong about happyface spiders though, those lads have venom and i'm stickin' with my guns on this one
