I'm thinking about Sidney funnel webs and Brazilian wandering spiders to be exact.Black widows and the 6 eye sand spiders can also do lots of damage.Size bears no resemblance to risk when directed are compared.It sounds like they need to be better informed. Also emphasize that handling will be minimized.</blockquote>
