Abstract
This invention provides a family of insecticidally effective proteins and particular members of that family which may be isolated from the venom of the spider Filistata hibernalis, DNA encoding such proteins, insecticidal compositions of these proteins or the DNA encoding them, and methods for controlling invertebrate pests. Recombinant expression vectors and host cells and methods for producing insecticidally effective peptides are also provided.
