Aranae

Do pretty much all aranae produce venom and have fangs? I thought they did, but I don't see this info anywhere on the guide page.

Liphistiidae

Thanks for the added detail
I added "in our area": according to the World Spider Catalog, Liphistiidae are all Asian- so the statement is still true as qualified.
