So is it poisonous or not? I generally take a live & let live attitude towards creepy, crawly & slithery critters, but I don't like poisonous spiders & snakes! I'll tolerate 'em as long as they don't come around me.

Not for people with arachnophobia! By a conincidence, Larry and I were visited on the sam eday by related species. Actually, that day, while I was shooting this guy in the middle of the day, I was rather busy. It was only later, in the evening, while trying to identify the type, that I realized it was "she". Because she was gravid. (I think..) I am not a specialist, but this helpful website helped me to identify this Metaltella simoni (Hacklemesh Weaver) http://www.spiders.us/species/metaltella-simoni/ http://42graphy.org/misc/2015-03-spider/ Unfortunately, these photos were far from perfect. I was in a rush, and was shooting with the camera handheld, in a very unstable position. So, I just did the best I could in that situation. Actually, I'd appreciate if you can tell me which of these photo(s) you like the most (if any). Igor
