This recluse spider is fairly well established in South Australia, found in and around houses and sheds. Its bite is medically important, capable of leading to ulcerous lesions which are slow to heal and might require skin grafts. The bite of the White Tail Spider (Lamponidae) does not do this, despite popular belief. Complications including infection and organ poisoning are dangerous but no known fatalities have occurred. It is to be avoided. Do not handle.
