Even for an arachnophobic as I am (I would eventually kill spiders with a baseball bat, flamethrower, or any other stuff of this kind if I could... ^^). What do we know about pathogenicity and aggressivity of T. guatemanlensis? Are they any public health concerns? What if the community decided all of a sudden to start dispersal, and start an invasion (not like in an horror movie, but from an ecologist point of view)? How are they situated in food network, ecosystem, and stuff? (I'm glad that any photo of my area of research would never be this creepy, really) Interesting, really.
