Well, I woke up incredibly late. x.x
Bravely continuing searches anyway! I think I need to reword this, though. I'm learning more than I ever really wanted to know about spiders, and occasionally the entomologists researching them:
If these spiders were indeed deadly poisonous but couldn't bite humans, then the only way we would know that they are poisonous is by milking them and injecting the venom into humans. For a variety of reasons including Amnesty International and a humanitarian code of ethics, this research has never been done.
From here: Daddy Long Legs Myth which sounds as if the writer has had to answer questions about this a bit too often.
