2 Oct. 12 I reside in southern Oregon. In this area one spider along with the familiar Black Widow, Crab spider (all colors), and the Catface is the Hobo Spider or commonly known as the Tunnel Spider. I will never know for sure, but I had a run-in with a Hobo around the 10th of Sept. this year. I have no idea how he/she bit me but it did. I was unaware when bitten on the left foot just below the ankle. I awoke the next night in terrible pain/swelling. Seeking a doctor the third day it was indeed diagnosed as a Hobo bite. I was 9 days flat on my back and my foot looked like football. I took low doses of Morphine to bear the pain. There was no Necrosis of which I'm very fortunate. So, if any of you see a Tunnel Spider/Hobo in it's web on the ground. Leave it alone. You don't want to go though what I did. Not fun. Nice website and very informative. T.Y. Lastly, here in this area we have seen Catface spiders colored; black/red, blonde, two-toned brown, solid brown. Crab spiders here in the woods are colored: lavendar, white, yellow, brown, and redish. Judi Walch ~ Lower Cascades, southern Oregon

Your Black Widow spider seems identical to our Redback In Australia Are they of the same species. I thought your Black Widow was related to our Deadly Funnel Web Spider. Great photos Beryl Penrith NSW

The cat faced spider is not harmful to humans. Actually, as a kid, I would let them crawl all over my hands and forearms. They are actually pretty peaceful.

Is the cat faced spider poisenous to humans? We have them all over our trees.

Really getting into bugs now, Dona? :) Everything seems to snowball once you get started.
