__ ﻿Brazilian Wandering Spider ﻿ __ **Scientific Name:** //Phoneutria nigriventer//  **Common Names:** Brazilian Wandering Spider, Banana Spider   **﻿**   **Phyla:** Arthropoda   **Class:** Arachnida  ** Location: ** Located in some of Central America's forest and mostly in South America's tropical rain forests. **Size:** The Brazilian wandering spiders leg span grows up to 13–15 cm (4–5 in). Their body length ranges from 17 to 48 mm (0.7–1.9 in). **Description of Habitat:** The wandering spider is known to hide in dark and moist places in or near dense populated areas. ** Living Requirements: ** This spider does not have a standard for living, they can be found in small dark places like someone's shoes, hat, generally in most people's homes. ** Life Cycle of Animal: ** These spiders wander around endlessly in search for prey. During the dry seasons, April through June, is mating season which leads us into further investigation of this species. ** Interesting Facts: **
 * Unlike other spiders who make webs and nests, the wandering spider wanders the jungle or forest floor.
 * If a male of any species gets bitten by this spider contact help right away. Because if you don't, you'll get an intense and aggressive erection that will last for 4-8 hours and it will then lead to impotence. Believe it's uncomfortable.

** Human Impact: ** Because of the wandering nature of the "Banana Spider", it has been shipped in multiple banana crates in which the spider burrows into.
