Nevertheless, this is not a general rule as in most cases, both males and females survive the encounter. Well adapted to various living conditions spiders use great camouflages, and they even imitate other species for survival. Most species have six or eight eyes disposed in various groupings on the body. Hobo spiders definitely do not deserve the label of aggressiveness, and presently, there are trends of opinion among scientists related to the real danger of this species for humans: there are some who actually claim that hobo spiders are no threat to humans. The only time when hobo spiders are really dangerous is when they are laying their eggs, particularly if they see you as a threat to their future siblings. Despite its diversity, all the huntsman spider specimens have eight eyes disposed on various parts of the body, and a good vision for the close and distant potential pray. Unlike the general opinion that associates spiders with webs, this is not the case with the huntsman spider: this species goes out to hunt its pray as it doesn't wait for it to get caught in a web. Experts in the field often say that spider identification is tricky since very many species resemble each other, and the venomous and the non-venomous ones are found in a complex who's who relationship. Presently, there are all sorts of devices that allow people to catch and analyze the spiders that live in their homes so as to find out whether they are poisonous or not. It all depends on the body part where you've been bitten; when the spider bites occur on the arm or the leg, tie a bandage right above the bite so as to prevent the spreading of the venom. Nevertheless, too tight a bandage may affect the correct blood flow in the area. A cold cloth pressed on the wound will reduced the swelling and the redness associated with spider bites in general. Spiders that live outdoors are more difficult to identify due to the large number of species both harmful and venomous. All in all, spider identification serves not only to the scientist but to the average person who either takes a great interest in the various spider species or who'd like to avoid risky exposures and eventual bites.
