UPDATE: August 15, 2010
Recently several people have clicked through to the larger images of the above photos and have left messages regarding whether one or the other of these spiders are poisonous if they bite.

I'm an amateur photographer. I'm not a biologist, a spiderologist or whatever those who study spiders are called. I most certainly am not a doctor, or member of the medical profession.

The best I can do is refer you here. None of these spiders seem to appear in this article. However, for goodness sakes, if you have been bitten by one of them, call or visit a medical facility immediately.

well i was surfing the net trying to find a cool looking yellow and black striped spider for a tatoo i am wishing to put on my back. the only ones that pop up are barn spiders. when i was looking at exotic south american spiders it poped up a little girl eating a (what i hope is cooked) spider that is bout the size of serving plater!!!! the spider was kinda cool but there is no way i would be able to aford a tatoo that size and it would probly have to wrap around my body!!! just think about it the next time you think your house cat "ran away" just try not to laugh at the thought of a giant spider trying to drag you cat outside... ps sry if this comments has want you to consider wearing stalletos around the house lol and sry if this comment has made you upset all you cat lovers... g2g look for more spiders as possible tatoo. don't worry i am getting it as a graduation present or even sooner...
