I Corinthians 15:56 Even though all of the thousands of kinds of spiders are poisonous to some extent, only a very few are harmful to human beings. Nevertheless, the mere sight of a spider often frightens people who know their fear is groundless. When naturalist Ivan T. San derson was attacked by a giant African spider, he reported that he was more afraid of the appearance of the creature than of its deadly poison. That spider, whose leg spread measured eight by twelve inches, was making six-foot leaps at the members of Sanderson's expedition. Its lialf-inch-long fangs could have injected enough poison to kill any of them. The natives considered this spider an embodiment of the devil. The largest spider in North Amertcs is the tarantula. It may have a leg spread of six or seven inches, but its bite is rarely lethal. In fact, people who would die from a tarantula's poison are probably equally sensitive to a bee sting. Therefore, the tarantula is overrated as a menace. There are only two dangerous spiders in North America. The black widow is one, which gets its name from the mistaken belief that the female kills and eats the male after mating. This is not true. Drop for drop, the poison of a black widow is about fifteen times more powerful than that of a rattlesnake. However, because the insect injects such small amounts of venom when it bites, few people have been seriously harmed. In fact, death occurs in only about five of one hundred cases of black widow bites. The other is the little-known brown recluse spider, which is most famous for the violin shaped mark on its back. There have been very few deaths cjused by its bite, but the strength of Its poison should still be respected. Sin. said Paul, has a deadly sting. The poison of that sting is more powerful than that of any Insect, for it has resulted in death for all mankind. But the blood of Jesus is its antidote, and all who receive Him will be saved eternally from the sting of death. Lloyd W. Perrin.
