However - bites are very rare and are always in self defense (they have poor eyesite and won't bite at a drop of a hat - they aren't an aggressive spider and as you can see from the results only a quarter - ish were moderate or severe - it depends how much venom was used)

Thanks venger

note: florentinas are aggressive spiders.
