Spider Species And Appearance

When it comes to spiders, there’s an abundance of diversity: 109 families and over 40, 000 species of eight-legged crawling freaks. At least spider scientists are never bored. And there are a lot of spiders which find man-made structure quite homey. The brown recluse, the wolf spider, the harvestman and the yellow sac are such spiders.

The harvestman is the most avid fan of household living. It has long legs and a small body. It is probably the skinniest spider in existence. If Vogue magazine had a spider issue, the harvestman will always be on the cover. If Spider-man was scientifically accurate, he would have two pairs of hands and two pairs of legs. His skin would be fuzzy because spiders are actually quite hairy and he would have a freakish number of eyes.
Other household spider species include False Widow Spider (Steatoda nobilis), Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica), Domestic House Spider, (Tegenaria domestica), Daddy Long Legs Spider (Pholcidae), Cupboard Spider (Steatoda grossa)

Why are there so many spiders in my house?

So they can enter in our bodies while we sleep, of course. You’ve probably heard the ridiculous myth that people ingest at least eight spiders in their lifetime while they sleep. Actually, unless your face is covered with flies, a spider has no job near your mouth. The eight-legged critters enter households because they seek shelter for the winter. When they sense the weather changes, they would look for a hospitable place where they can survive the cold months of the year. Most spiders are predatory and feed on insects. Which actually makes them kind of cool.

The Danger For Your Home and Health

One of the most frequently asked questions is “Are spiders dangerous to people?” Why do spiders come inside your house? Even though spiders are pretty cool and eat nasty insects, they present some danger to humans. For instance, the American house spider (which is common for North America) is venomous, and even though the bite is not lethal, it might cause an allergic reaction.
On the other hand, if a black widow bites you, then you should seek medical help immediately – its bite is quite toxic.
The same goes for the brown recluse spider.

Giant House Spider– The spider would prefer to run away and hide from you rather than bite. Its venom is harmless to people and pets.
Domestic House Spider (Tegenaria domestica) is not aggressive towards people. Yet, they might bite you, but you won’t feel a thing.
Pholcidae, also known as cellar spiders or Daddy Long Legs can’t even penetrate your skin when trying to bite you.
Steatoda grossa, the Cupboard spider’s venom has certain effect on your physical condition. Yet, there are no severe consequences or danger to your life.

When Do Spiders Bite?

Keep in mind no spider will crawl to your bed and bite you in your sleep – spiders bite only when they are in danger. Another nuisance caused by domestic spiders is webs – one more cleaning duty in your to-do-list.
