This is what chatgpt said about it:
Zoropsis spinimana, commonly known as the Mediterranean recluse spider or the false recluse spider, is a species of spider found in Mediterranean regions. While it may look similar to the notorious recluse spiders, such as the brown recluse or the violin spiders, Zoropsis spinimana is not considered dangerous to humans.
The false recluse spider does possess venom and can deliver a bite if it feels threatened or cornered. However, the venom of Zoropsis spinimana is relatively weak, and its bites typically result in only minor local symptoms such as redness, swelling, and itching. Severe reactions or systemic effects are extremely rare and have not been well-documented.
It's worth noting that bites from any spider can lead to varying individual reactions, and some people may be more sensitive or allergic to spider venom than others. If you are bitten by any spider and experience concerning symptoms or an allergic reaction, it is advisable to seek medical attention.
In general, though, Zoropsis spinimana is not considered a highly dangerous or medically significant spider species. As with most spiders, they are typically more interested in avoiding humans and are unlikely to bite unless provoked or threatened.
