Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whitelightning777" data-source="post: 154779" data-attributes="member: 26980">Old world Ts have no urticating hairs, but there's a catch.Those without those defence tend to be more defensive with stronger venom if they choose to fight instead of run. They also tend to move faster more often. Bear in mind, any T can teleport but ole world species resort to that much faster.Some are medically significant.  Pokies are good example.In this pic, you can see how my H pulchripes reacted when I accidently dropped a roach on his head.He nailed it a few seconds later and was troubled no further.[ATTACH=full]38843[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
