yes, i kept it. i want to figure out what species it is. i now know that it is in the Aptostichus genus... but there are like 7 described and at least as many undescribed species known to california
i have been bit by one USA species and it didn't hurt beyond getting fangs in me. most USA species do not have very powereful venom against humans
HOWEVER!!!! various trapdoor and related spiders in other countries can be VERY venomous to humans! the Sydney Funnelweb spider is a relative of trapdoor spiders and i can easily kill people if they don't get medical assistance
not going to lie when you tiped over the rock i jumped lol

where are good places to go tarantule or scorpion hunting
TBofTexas 2 years ago
in places with water... but not in areas that get submerged regularly.
if you are interested in bug hunting i would join bug forums and try to find people that are close to you to give you some pointers
