Hello, so last night after dressing up my jeans, all of a sudden something bites my leg, felt like a wasp sting, when went to check, it was a BIG spider!
I have no idea what spider is this, and now the bite zone is dripping "water" nonstop... here are some photos of the spider and of the bite. hope you can help me!!
PS. I live in Portugal, i know that there are few drangerous spiders here, but there still are some! this one looks creepy :cc
This is a mygalomorph spider (the group that includes tarantulas and trapdoor spiders); it might be in the family Nemesiidae (wishbone/burrowing spiders). It appears to be a male, likely wandering about in search of a mate. Their venom does not appear to be dangerous to humans, but because of the size of their chelicerae ('fangs'), their bite can be quite deep, and thus there may be a possibility of a secondary bacterial infection of the wound.
