What Spiders Are Friendly to Humans
There are many misconceptions about spiders. One of the most common is that they are predators who prey on other creatures. Often, people have a fear of spiders because of their venomous bites. Fortunately, most spiders are harmless. But there are several species of spiders that can be dangerous.
The Black Widow spider is an arachnid that has a distinctive red mark on its abdomen. They build webs in homes and in vents. They have a tendency to hide in clutter. They also tend to build webs in areas with a high insect population.
Another spider that is friendly to humans is the jumping spider. These arachnids can jump impressive distances, have excellent hearing, and are known for their curiosity. These spiders aren’t social like cats, but they can have a great time playing with people.
They are also helpful in the fight against disease. Some have been found to be able to recognize visual movements of living organisms, something previously only discovered in vertebrates.
A recent study has shown that spiders are able to distinguish between animate and inanimate objects. These findings have surprised scientists.
Another surprising discovery was that some arachnids are capable of caressing their young. This is something that has been thought to be rare in arachnids. It’s possible that these spiders are able to help their young survive.
Finally, it’s important to know that most spiders have poor eyesight. This is true even of the most friendly species.
