Poisonous Spiders!
Over 35,000 different species of spiders live almosteverywhere in the world. The only places you can’t find spiders are on the tops of mountains, in the ocean and at the poles.

Most spiders use poison to kill or paralyze their prey. All spiders have poison, andto a small insect all spiders are very dangerous, but only a few spiders have poison strong enough to hurt people. Spiders that bite and cause pain to humans are called medically significant spiders.This means that they have enough venom (poison) to cause a serious bite that will need to be looked at by a doctor. Some of the poisonous spiders found in North America include the Black Widow, theBrown Recluse, the Hobo Spider, and the Yellow Sac Spider.
