Hi Megan,
I have been going to Honduras for years and have been on nature walks in
many protected areas, I have never encountered the legendary large spiders.
In a restaurant one time however another patron was describing how he killed
a large spider as big as his fist in his house. This story forever scared my
now 11 year old son. So in oder to help him with his fears, we educated
ourselves on those cute arachnids and actually found out that the bigger the
spider the less venomous it is. The little black widow we have here in
California is a lot more poisonous than those tarantulas.
Don't worry and enjoy your travels. I can tell you will be very well
prepared. I have been enjoying your dicussion on this list and I have
learned a lot.
Thanks,
Sabine
