Description
The Hogna are known for their impressive hunting techniques. Unlike many other spiders that rely on webs, Hogna demonstrate remarkable agility and speed in capturing prey directly. One common misconception about these spiders is their danger to humans. Although their appearance might seem intimidating, Hogna are not aggressive towards humans, and their venom is designed for small prey, not for defense against large predators like us.
