A very large common spider in North America. Usually hangs
in webs with its head facing the ground. It is brightly colored.
Its venom is a neurotoxin similar to that of the black widow.
However, its venom is not near as potent. Its bite causes
local pain and redness with blisters forming. This bite usually
resolves within 24 hours except for the bite mark.
