The great size,black color, and hairiness ofsome of these spiders have giventhem an apparently unjustifiedreputation of being very poison-ous. Naturalists who have al-lowed these spiders to bite thehand report that the bite is rarelymore poisonous than that of themosquito.

Some of these of grayish color live inhouses, and are recognizedas members of this familyby their half-running, half-jumping gait (Fig. 90).The cocoon is attached tosome object and enclosedin a sort of tent, in whichthe mother also lives toguard the young.
