RE: Butterfly Day - Yellow Theme
I have actually let an argiope crawl on me. They are blind and only bite things that are wiggling around in their web. As for the dangerous Canadian goslings i've never been able to catch one, the hissing biting parents are too much of a threat.
I had no idea they were blind but how could I since I usually don't do research on spiders. At least I know that I can come to you if I have any questions about them. Yes, Canadian Geese can be vicious, especially when protecting their babies.
Yeah most web making spiders are blind. Then there's the hunters that walk around like wolf spiders and jumping spiders with good vision. But those guys are handleable since they can see you aren't food. The sac web spiders are the ones that bite most often. Here in illinois there's the yellow sac web that likes the warmth of peoples beds in winter and they crawl under the covers and if you toss and turn they get defensive and bite. In the south brown recluse like to do this as well lol.
OMG! Remind me not to go to Illinois in the winter!!! OMG!!!
Lol yeah, don't go south either. The brown recluses are much worse.
