Is this spider poisonous?

[Muny]

I've read somewhere that spiders with vibrant colors are more likely to be poisonous.  Can anybody attest to this one?

Not as bad as the DIP spiders, I got bitten by one on the floor, left a really nasty bite.

Is it from Australia?

It depends on if you used lead-free solder or not, when making it.

Careful with them on a bed, they tend to leave little babies around that bite you as you are sleeping later.

not directly, but the aftermath are disastrous:
1) burn mark everywhere on the skin if you dont handle the iron properly
2) http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/excessive-sleepiness-10/10-results-sleep-loss
3) lots and lots of wastage of man hours when you realize it its too late already.
and many more...

Yep they also tend to stick to your foot, note there are two different DIP species, bench and floor.
The benchdips are pretty harmless, its the floordips that bite! Ouch!

You need an IC (icky critter) trap.

To be 100% sure, you should check in the records some people investigating these type of spider have made. In the past I have seen those spiders have some symbols like "written" over them, you can look for those symbols in google and find what those people call "datasheets". The datasheets will tell you minimum, typical and maximum poisoning level. Be careful since, from spider to spider, there can be one that is "out" of the minimum and maximum, since those might be statistical figures and not guaranteed levels... you know, all that biology stuff is so complex.

Didn't Ben Heck get bit by one and turned into an artist with some EE knowledge?

And if the DIP spiders seem bad enough, check out DIP centipedes. They seem to be pretty common in Arduino land.

The bite of the ceramic shelled "Military"   really hurts. These have distinctive repeating marks that look like an L an M and a series of fives, usually three fives.

A long tome ago in the late Jurassic-ear, there lived a creature like no other. It was the DIP-64. A creature so enormous that it has been unseen neither before nor after. Its internals was so regular that it was later called orthogonal. It lived in a rather peaceful co-existence with C14 based lifeforms, mostly due to its sheer size. Although peaceful, reports shows that it had a very feared bite, especially when stepped upon or suddenly removed from its habitat.

The DIP-64 habitats were shared with other similar creatures competing the same resources as the DIP-64. Natural selection made its job and the DIP-64 became extinct, succeeded by new denser species that ran hotter and with faster heart rates of both similar and competing origin.

Oh, an early specimen, best identified by its ceramic exoskeleton. I didn't know that HP herded them, though.
