Sicarius

Sicarius is a genus of highly venomous spiders found mainly in deserts and dry regions. These spiders are known for their flat, crab-like bodies and long legs, which allow them to hide under rocks and sand. They do not spin webs to catch prey but actively hunt insects and small arthropods. Sicarius spiders deliver potent venom that can cause serious health issues in humans, but bites are rare due to their reclusive nature. Their venom contains enzymes that quickly break down tissues, aiding in prey immobilization. Despite their dangerous potential, they generally avoid human contact.
