[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 157495, member: 29302"] I wouldn't want to be bit by any of them! As a rule of thumb though, Old World tarantulas' venom tend to be stronger than New Worlds. The species that are generally regarded as being the most medically significant are: Stromatopelma calceatum Heteroscoda maculata Any species from the genus Poecilotheria. However, not every species has had its venom studied in depth, plus everyone can react differently to a bite, i.e. allergic reactions. The intensity of a bite can be affected by factors such as the size of the spider, whether it delivered a full dose or not, etc. That's why it is best to avoid being bitten! [/QUOTE]
