Thanks to this photo, I was able to identify the spider found outside my house this afternoon (I live in Minneapolis).<br /><br />On a sidenote, I use an FZ7 and have to thank you for proving that you don't need an extra-fancy camera for great macro shots!Shatteredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236287856529546637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168830295512826373.post-13085486388858730302010-10-22T20:50:43.681-07:002010-10-22T20:50:43.681-07:00It will die.

Whether the venom effects humans or not is the question. For this spider, no. Their venom doesn't present a problem for humans. <br /><br />You may get a red itchy bump, if you could get it to bite you, but that's about it. It would take a lot for it to bite you though, like holding it in your hand and trying to squish it.<br /><br />Venom is a precious resource to venomous creatures. It takes an intensive metabolic process to make it. As such, they like to not use it if at all possible. I've handled hundreds of spiders in the wild and none has ever bitten me.sankaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395474996736239796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168830295512826373.post-125521179752924422010-07-16T23:18:46.923-07:002010-07-16T23:18:46.923-07:00I've been told by many people that this spider...I've been told by many people that this spider is venomous, but so far the only information I've gotten was the same as what you'd posted.
