Description: This spider is black. It grows to about 7mm from the tips of the left legs to the tips of the right ones, all of which are on the sides rather than the front of the body. It does not scuttle or run but jumps very rapidly. We have never seen more than one at a time in any one room. Its bite is deeply painful, since the venom seems to affect large muscles. Where it bites, the flesh becomes very hard in an area up to 40mm in diameter and remains painful and extremely itchy for up to three weeks. The pain is not merely surface irritation. Please will someone identify it for me? Thanks.
