I thought the whole "small fang" thing was a myth? Haven't we all heard of a local spider which is very poisonous but has fangs that are too small?
Does anyone know if the "small fang" thing is true? And does the spider have venom if it is able to bite?
Virtually all spiders are venomous, but many can't penetrate human skin and many have venom that isn't dangerous to humans at the dosage injected.
> Of around 50,000 spider species known, only about 25 (1/20 of 1%) have venom capable of causing illness in humans

Some of them would furiously try to bite the stick and I could feel their fangs scraping on it. So I can’t quite say whether they’re strong enough to break the skin, but they’re strong enough to send vibrations down a 2 foot long stick.
