Most of the spiders we photograph are actually venomous but their venom are usually weak towards human or their mouth parts are not strong enough to bite us. The Brazilian Wandering Spider is a truly dangerous one. So far Malaysia is safe from dangerous spiders, except for one death case from Sarawak.

Yes,@Chun, its a wandering Spider, Ctenidae, found on the forest floor, could be poisonous.
