Talk:Peucetia viridans

Untitled

Two things I notice.

1. It mentions gravid females can change color to fit background and it takes 16 days. This can be taken 2 ways. Either it takes 16 days to take color or it takes 16 days before she lays the eggs. The latter is the correct one, but it is more likely people will not read this from the text. 

2. It claims the spider is non venomous. This is nonsense. Any spider is venomous. The venom is used not only to kill the prey, but also to liquefy its intestines. Without this, the spider would not be able to feed because its esophagus is so thin only liquid food can pass through it.

Distribution

We just found one inside our house in Altadena, Southern California (9/3/13), so the distribution is wider than reported. Lmonteros (talk) 18:08, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
