Yes you are right,it looks pretty and is harmless enough to humans,but it has a very poisonous bite.It kills it's victims by biting
them in their neck,and its venom is strong enough to kill insects as large as bees and
butterflies.

Talking of bites......

Spiders are the SAS of nature, and will spend hours flying through the air on their ropes,prior to landing and subjecting some hapless insect to savage interrogation. The question they usually ask is: "have you any last requests".x

Rrrsss, good one!!Have seen them flying on their
silk threads,and have even seen them catch their
prey,striking quickly and mercilessly.They have to eat though have'nt they!!!!Thankyou Ian for finding yet another relevant quote.X
