Description
English: Found her in the garage. These cannibalistic spiders use a powerful neurotoxin that causes constant painful muscle spasms (from acetycholine release). While their numbers are still small relative to other urban threats, these spiders kill more people worldwide than any other. Unfortunately, the anti-venom is more lethal than the neurotoxin itself.
