Where Spiders Are Found
WouterThere are over 45,000 species of spiders in the world. Some of them are poisonous and may be harmful to humans. However, many of them are harmless. You can find these spiders in your home and even in your yard. They can be found in every continent, except Antarctica.
Spiders are usually found in corners, under furniture, and in dark places. They make webs to catch their prey. The silk that the spiders produce is secreted in liquid form and hardens when exposed to air.
Most spiders have four body segments, but the wolf spider has eight legs. In addition, they are also known for producing short spinnerets to help them make their webs.
Spiders also have a mouthpart called a Chelicerae, which is used for injecting venom. Although spiders are usually nocturnal, they can be seen at any time of the year.
If you see spiders in your house, try to locate their nests and eliminate them. Some of these nests are in the garage or attic, but they can also be inside your home. A common way to keep them out is to seal your doors and windows. It is also a good idea to put lavender oil in closets and crawl spaces to ward off pests.
One of the most dangerous spiders in the world is the Mediterranean brown recluse. These spiders are small and gray with a rounded abdomen. Their venom can cause nausea and deep wounds in humans.
