Spiders are part of the order of arthropods, numbering almost 42 thousand species around the world. About 3 thousand species live within the former USSR. All spiders except one species are predators.

Diet in the natural environment

Spiders are classified as obligate predators, the menu of which includes exclusively small vertebrates and insects.. Arachnologists mention the only exception - Bagheera kiplingi, living in Central America.

On closer examination, Kipling's Bagheera is not 100% vegetarian: in the dry season, this spider (for lack of Vachellia acacia foliage and nectar) devours its relatives. In general, the ratio of plant and animal feed in the diet of Bagheera kiplingi looks like 90% to 10%.

Hunting methods

They depend on the way of life, sedentary or nomadic. A wandering spider usually watches over the victim or cautiously creeps up to her, overtaking her with one or a couple of jumps. Wandering spiders prefer to envelop their prey with their threads.

Sedentary spiders do not run after the victim, but wait until it wanders into skillfully woven nets. These can be both simple signal threads, and ingenious (large in area) networks stretched to the observation point of their owner.

It is interesting! Not all hunters entangle their victims with cobwebs: some (for example) are simply waiting for the insect's body to soften to the desired condition. Sometimes the spider frees the prey. This happens in two cases: if it is too large or smells strongly (bug).

The spider kills its prey with a toxin concentrated in venom glands, which are located in chelicerae or (as in Araneomorphae) in the cephalothorax cavity.

The spiral muscles surrounding the glands contract at the right moment, and the poison enters its destination through a hole in the tip of the claw-like jaws. Small insects die almost immediately, while larger ones convulse for some more time.

Hunting objects

For the most part, these are insects that are suitable in size. Spiders that weave webs more often catch all flying, especially Diptera.

The species "range" of living creatures is determined by the habitat and season. Spiders that live in burrows and on the surface of the soil eat mainly beetles and orthoptera, not disdaining, however, snails and earthworms. Spiders from the Mimetidae family target spiders of other species and ants.

Argyroneta, a water spider, specializes in aquatic insect larvae, fish fry and crustaceans. Approximately the same thing (small fish, larvae and tadpoles) is eaten by spiders from the genus Dolomedes, which inhabit wet meadows and swamps.

The most interesting "dishes" are included in the menu of tarantula spiders:

• small birds;
• small rodents;
• arachnids;
• insects;
• fish;
• amphibians.

Young snakes often appear on the table of the Brazilian tarantula Grammostola, which the spider devours in huge quantities.

Feeding method

It has been proven that all arthropods demonstrate an arachnid (extraintestinal) type of nutrition. In a spider, everything is adapted for the use of liquid food, starting with the filtering device of the pre-oral cavity and pharynx, the narrowed esophagus and ending with a powerful sucking stomach.

Important! Having killed the victim, the spider tears and crushes it with its jaws, launching digestive juice inside, designed to dissolve the insides of the insect.

At the same time, the spider sucks up the protruding liquid, alternating the meal with the injection of juice. The spider does not forget to turn the corpse over, processing it from all sides until it turns into a dried mummy.

Spiders that attack hard-covered insects (for example, beetles) pierce their articular membrane with their chelicerae, usually between the chest and head. Digestive juice is injected into this wound, and the softened contents are sucked out.

What do spiders eat at home

Not bred, but true house spiders (Tegenaria Domestica) eat house flies, fruit flies (Drosophila), mealybugs and larvae. Spiders specially bred in captivity follow the same rules as in wild nature- be interested in proportionate food objects.

Proper Diet

The food insect should ideally fit within 1/4 to 1/3 the size of the spider itself. Larger prey can complicate digestion and even scare the spider.. In addition, a large insect (served during the molting of a pet) injures its unhardened integuments.

Growing spiders (at the age of 1-3 days) are given:

• Drosophila;
• young crickets;
• flour worms (newborns).

The diet of adult spiders (depending on the species) includes:

• exotic cockroaches;
• grasshoppers;
• crickets;
• small vertebrates (frogs and newborn mice).

Small insects are given immediately in "bundles", 2-3 pieces each. The easiest way to feed arthropod pets is cockroaches: at least they are not seen in cannibalism, like crickets. One spider is enough for a week 2-3 cockroaches.

Another word of caution - do not give your pets carnivorous arthropods such as centipede, other spiders, and insects like the praying mantis. In this case, the “lunch” will easily bite those who are going to satisfy their hunger.

Purchase (preparation) of feed

Provisions for spiders are purchased at pet stores, in the bird market, or from people who are specially involved in breeding live food. If you want to save money, grow fodder insects yourself, especially since it is not difficult.

You will need a glass jar (3 l), on the bottom of which you will put fragments of egg packaging, bark, scraps of newspapers and cardboard: a colony of marble cockroaches will live here. So that the tenants do not run away, apply petroleum jelly to the neck, or even better, cover it with gauze (pressing it with a rubber band).

Launch a few individuals there and feed them scraps from the table: cockroaches grow quickly and reproduce their own kind.

The Latin name for this spider is Tegenaria domestica. Despite the fact that he is a "brownie", you can see him not only in the dark corners of apartments, but also in closets and sheds around the globe. This spider is practically not afraid, because it is a fairly common occurrence in our homes, and besides, its poison is not dangerous to humans, although it is quite painful.

Features of the dwelling and hunting of the house spider

It will be useful to know where this spider usually lives. His home is a special web tube that leads from the net to the shelter.

Of course, these spiders weave a web, but it is somewhat different from the one that its street relatives weave. Its web is thicker and looser, and "street spiders" weave a thin, viscous web with sticky knots. Thus, his future food in a loose web is literally and, of course, trying to get out of his captivity. Attempts to get out of the web are noticed by the spider. Its web is almost flat, but its center sharply goes down at a slight angle, forming the very living web tube in which the spider waits for signals from the victim. As soon as the victim begins to try to get out of the web, he quickly runs out of his shelter and pounces on her, sticking his hook-shaped jaws. Inside them is a poison that strikes the victim to death. However, the spider cannot eat the deceased victim - it has a small mouth, chewing jaws (used to grind food) are also absent. Therefore, the spider has to suck out nutrients from the victim due to the fact that the body, under the influence of poison, begins to digest itself.

Thus, it destroys such harmful insects as flies, flies, larvae of wood lice or moths. In general, it makes a feasible contribution to the fight against harmful insects.

However, the spider does not always manage to eat its prey. For example, if an ant gets into its net, then it will most likely survive - after all, the house spider does not know how to swaddle its prey, and the poison has a rather weak effect on large ants.

Another feature of the nutrition of house spiders is the absence of the need to weave a large network - some individuals, especially males, are able to get by with several signal threads, but they need a larger “working” area on which they will attach their network.

In nature, spiders are very common, there are many thousands of species. They prefer to live in warm climates. Often, these arthropods move into a person's home as an uninvited guest or pet. What types of these creatures are most often found in the house?

Spiders in the house: is it dangerous?

As a rule, arthropods are absolutely safe for humans, but their very appearance is often disgusting. Although they help to clean the apartment from cockroaches, bedbugs and other pests. At the same time, spiders reproduce slowly, so you don't have to worry that in a matter of days your home will turn into their colony.

Important! If there are spiders in the house, then something attracts them. Most often, these are insects that make up food for arthropods: flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches. You should take them out - and the spiders will disappear.

Most of all arthropods can be observed in spring and summer, as these creatures are very fond of warm and dry climate.

Almost all types of domestic spiders are predators, that is, they use other living organisms as food, primarily insects. In order to catch the prey, they weave their web and lurk nearby. . As soon as the unfortunate insect gets trapped and entangled, the spider injects its venom, causing the death of the prey, which it devours immediately or leaves as a reserve.

In apartments and private houses most often you can find such arthropods:

• black;
• grey;
• haymaker;
• window;
• tramp.

How can you recognize them? The distinctive features of the black spider are as follows:

• Miniature body size, average length about 1.5 cm.
• The web is shaped like a tube.

The window has a body length of not more than 1 cm, an oval or round abdomen, 8 long legs. Weaving a web prefers in dark corners or under window sills. Black spiders often have yellowish patterns on their body, densely covered with hairs. . There are several pairs eye, but arthropods are guided primarily by other senses.

Gray ones are also small, up to 15 mm. After the prey is caught in the net, the spider restores the web, it is mainly the females that weave it.

The black hobo spider does not weave webs, but is different large size. He can get into housing through a door or window. It is distinguished by long legs, an elongated body. How does this giant hunt? He rushes to the chosen victim, injects poison, eats it and goes on. That is why such black arthropods will not become regular guests of your apartment. After ridding her of insects, they will continue on their way.

The haymaker spider is often also called the long-legged or kosinozhka. The most remarkable thing about him appearance- long legs (their length reaches 5 cm with a body length of only 1 cm). Number of legs eight . The web is not sticky, but so cunningly intertwined that an insect that has fallen has no chance of liberation. And the waiting hunter is already running towards his victim, ready to inject a lethal dose of poison into her quivering body.

This creature prefers to settle in dry warm places, especially near windows and in hard-to-reach corners, hanging most often upside down. It is interesting that the haymaker tries with all his might to prevent a large insect from getting into his net; in case of danger, he begins to swing the web.

Jumper. This is a special kind of jumping domestic arthropod, the owner of eight eyes placed in three rows. May be wide variety of body color and pattern of the abdomen. Due to the presence of tiny hairs and claws on the legs, this arthropod easily moves along glass surfaces. Interestingly, this spider is an exception among its fellows, it does not belong to predators, preferring to eat acacia flowers.

It is also not uncommon for arthropods to be kept as pets, they are loved and taken care of. The most popular types include the following:

Are house spiders dangerous?

As a rule, the species found in our houses and apartments are absolutely harmless, since they do not emit poison. A certain danger may represent black vagrants living in regions with a hot climate - they often cause allergic reactions. More precisely, not the spiders themselves, but the secret of the oral gland secreted by them. Accidentally brought from the southern regions to the middle lane, such creatures also pose a danger.

An accidental bite of a domestic spider is harmless to humans, since the poison of these arthropods is dangerous only for insects - their victims. But still, for the purpose of prevention, doctors recommend treating the bite site with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol.

How to get rid of house spiders

The first step is to get those insects out, which serve as food for spiders, which is why it is first of all necessary to destroy cockroaches, bedbugs, flies and other unpleasant insects.

You can also fight the web with an ordinary broom. However, if there are a large number of arthropods, this may indicate the presence of masonry, which you can get rid of with the help of household chemicals - these creatures do not tolerate strong aromas. If possible, surfaces regularly inhabited by arthropods can be painted.

Also, if spiders began to appear often, you can place containers with flavored liquids around the room. So, arthropods cannot stand the aromas of chestnut, citrus, mint, eucalyptus. The number of spiders will drop sharply, and after a while, unpleasant neighbors will leave your home.

However, if the spiders had time breed, you will have to purchase special chemicals aimed at their destruction. First of all, these are products based on pyrethroids.

An excellent preventive measure would be to keep the room clean, regular cleaning of dust and dirt, especially in hard-to-reach places. Spiders are not in vain considered indicators of cleanliness: in those rooms where a lot of them have accumulated, the conditions are far from complete sanitation.

Spider Enemies often significantly reduce their numbers. In this article, you will find out who eats spiders.

Who eats spiders?

Spiders eat:

• spiders
• insects
• small mammals,
• birds,
• lizards and snakes,
• amphibians.
  

The biggest threat to spiders is the spiders themselves.. There are spiders that catch other spiders. In difficult times, when there is not enough food, spiders can eat someone from their family. The most famous spider in our house is the long-legged spider Pholcus phalangoides. He is the most dangerous enemy of spiders. In spring, this spider is the only one that lives in our homes. All other insects and spiders are exterminated by him during the winter. In the event of a hunger strike, they even kill their own offspring.

Among insects, spiders are a tasty dish for praying mantises, they eat spiders and ants, centipedes, ktyrs.

Spiders are eaten by wasps, which first paralyze them, and then lay the larvae in the carcass.

They eat spiders and frogs, snakes, lizards.

However, the most diverse enemies of spiders in nature are birds. It is rare that a bird will deny itself the pleasure of having dinner with a spider, ranging from a sparrow or a titmouse to a flycatcher. And the spider nectary feeds mainly on spiders. They say that they eat spiders and cats, but this is more of a search for exotic than the usual diet.

Spiders belong to the animal kingdom, but everyone is used to the fact that they are insects, so we will sometimes call them that too. Most often, spiders do not settle next to a person, but they have long adapted to peaceful coexistence nearby. Now at least a tiny spider lives in every house. About 42,000 species of spiders live on the entire planet, most of them in areas with a warm climate. In the CIS countries and Russia, there are less than three thousand species of spiders, but many of them weave their webs in human dwellings, most often in dark, inaccessible corners. Many signs are associated with the appearance of spiders in the house, and we could not ignore this topic.

Signs - a spider in the house

If spiders are wound up in the apartment, many people, on the one hand, feel disgust and even fear, on the other hand, they think about whether to kill the spider in the apartment or leave it, or maybe take it out into the street? This is associated with many superstitions and signs.

• Why do spiders appear in the apartment? According to popular belief for prosperity and quick success.
• If suddenly a spider fell on a hand or on a head - this is for profit and money.
• If you saw a spider descending along a thread, a sign portends an imminent arrival at your house of guests or a letter.
• But if spiders in the house (which is time to get used to and not be surprised) are found at night, you need to wait for unpleasant events.
• If the spider in the apartment wove a web right above the bed. What does it mean? This is also no good, most likely the owners will suffer failures and illnesses.
• Many people are wondering if it is possible to kill spiders? According to popular wisdom, killing a spider leads to trouble and misfortune. But just imagine if your room is all entangled in cobwebs, insects will fall into a plate of food, crawl over you at night. More than a bad picture. So do not torment yourself with the question why the spider cannot be killed, especially according to another version, on the contrary, you will get rid of sins.

Whether you believe in omens or not, you still don’t need to leave an insect in the house, then take it and throw it out into the street. Now let's get to know this arthropod closer.

Spiders in the apartment - types, photos

Almost all spiders are predators, their diet consists of small animals and insects. Most often, they hunt with the help of a web, when the victim is caught in the net, the spider injects poison and digestive juice into it, and after a while sucks out the solution, which is food for them. Usually, the owners learn about the presence of a spider by the appearance of a web. They prefer warmth and dryness, and to be disturbed as little as possible. Several varieties of spiders live next to humans. So, what kind of spiders live in an apartment?

Spider - haymaker

The long-legged, window spider or haymaker has a small round or oval abdomen up to one centimeter, 6 or 8 legs up to five centimeters long. Its nets are randomly arranged in corners, near windows, often hanging upside down. Insects, getting into the web, get more and more stuck in it. The spider lies in wait for the victim and, after injecting poison, leaves it in reserve or eats it.

Gray and black house spider

Small spiders in the apartment are a black spider or a gray one. Their total size is about 14 mm. Their web resembles a pipe, after the victim damages the network, they restore it, so you can often see not just a grid, but complex weaving patterns. As a rule, the female waits for the prey.

Spider - tramp

The tramp has an oval body and large paws. A distinctive feature of the species is the absence of a web. The spider attacks the victim, injects its poison, eats it and goes on. He doesn't stay anywhere for long. In Russia, this type of spider is safe, but in the tropics, the secret secreted from their glands leads to poisoning and skin problems.

Spider - jumper

If a jumping spider is wound up in the apartment, this is a jumping spider. Its difference is that it has 8 eyes arranged in three rows. The pattern on the body is varied, as well as the colors. Easily moves on glass, thanks to small claws and hairs on the paws. By the way, he is a vegetarian and eats only acacia.

The remaining species of these arthropods are very rare in houses and do not settle next to a person.

Where do spiders come from in the apartment

In old houses, spiders occupy attics and basements, and from there they make their way to other rooms.

Are spiders dangerous

All (with rare exceptions) spiders are poisonous. But the harm from the bites of spiders living in our apartments for humans is minimal, due to the small fragile body structure and small fangs. After a bite of a karakurt, the human body will undergo neurotoxic effects. And the biggest danger from domestic species is necrosis. But most often neither inflammation nor intoxication occurs. The bite site only needs to be treated with an alcohol-containing agent or hydrogen peroxide.

How to get rid of spiders

Before you think about how to get rid of spiders in the house, you should find out who serves as their food source, who needs to be taken out for company with arthropods. The fight against spiders does not always occur with the help of pesticides. Try simple and effective ways to get started, as they do not form colonies and do not reproduce at record speeds.

• Find out the reason for the appearance of spiders and start the fight against small insects.
• Get rid of the cobwebs with a broom or vacuum cleaner. Be sure to empty the contents of the bin outside, otherwise the spider will get out and continue to weave its webs. The simplest device for collecting cobwebs is a stick with a rag wound around it.
• If there are too many spiders, they managed to lay eggs, which you need to look for in secluded places, for example, on furniture from the side of the walls. Sweep them up and flush them down the drain.
• Seal cracks and crevices, glue wallpaper where necessary, install mosquito nets and mesh on ventilation grilles.
• Regular cleaning will prevent the appearance of spiders.
• After repair, not a single spider usually remains, since the smell of paints and varnishes is unbearable for them.
• Spiders are repelled by the sharp smells of chestnut, hazelnuts and oranges, mint, eucalyptus. You can crush the fruits and scatter them around the room or add drops of the substance to the spray bottle and regularly spray the apartment.
• Scatter diatomaceous earth on the skirting boards, falling on this substance, the insect quickly dies.
• Highly effective ordinary vinegar. Add a few drops of vinegar to water, pour into containers and arrange around the apartment.

Spider chemicals in the apartment

If the number of spiders in your home has become frighteningly large, you can not do without the use of chemicals. Universal aerosols against spiders are ineffective. Use household preparations based on pyrethroids. Be careful when spraying, do not forget about safety measures and follow the instructions. Also remember that the poison only works when it hits the spider's body.

A well-established tool that is suitable for fighting spiders - "Good FOS". The drug is an acaricidal agent that allows you to destroy arachnids with a 100% guarantee. The tool is safe for humans, but it acts with lethal force on insects.

Easy to use "Butox 50". The drug is sprayed where there are especially many spiders, left for 20 minutes, then the room is ventilated and cleaned. If you decide to use Neoron, be careful, it is very dangerous to use it near food products.

It happens that the use of aerosols is impossible for some reason - small children, pets, and so on. Then it is advisable to use pills - traps, inside of which poison is placed. In addition to other methods of control, it is recommended to place glue traps in corners, behind cabinets, under low furniture.

To prevent such a problem as a lot of spiders in the apartment, regularly carry out high-quality cleaning, ventilate and knock out mattresses and pillows - this way there will be less dust at home. Flush lighting fixtures, pay more attention to hard-to-reach places - in corners, under furniture, in cabinets, especially if you rarely use them. And remember that a spider is more of a useful creature than a pest, so let all methods of struggle be gentle.

Big spider in the apartment

Domestic spiders rarely cause discomfort to humans. They behave quietly, do not bite anyone and hide in dark corners. It happens that the owner of the apartment is unaware of this neighborhood.

But poisonous individuals sometimes start up in the house, which pose a threat.

Where do they come from

Neighborhood with a person likes one type of arachnid - a haymaker. The rest prefer to live outdoors because it is easier to get food there.

Why did a lot of spiders appear in a house or apartment? Where did they come from? Arachnids get into an apartment or house as follows:

Traveling on clothes. A person brings spiders from the forest or park on a jacket.

Through the cracks in the floor A small gap is enough for insects to get into housing.



The most common types of house spiders:

• Black and gray spider. Differ in small sizes - body length 14-18 mm. Settle in warm and dry places in the house. The female never leaves the habitat. These species of arthropods weave a structured web.
• Long-legged. It is also called a haymaker or window - because of the addiction to settle on the windowsill. Their peculiarity is in a small body - up to 10 mm and long legs, the total size of an individual can reach several centimeters. After eating the victim, the spider completes the web, so it often looks chaotic.
• Tramp. This representative of arthropods does not linger in a person's dwelling for a long time, for which he received a speaking name. Its peculiarity is in the method of catching prey, which is unusual for spiders - the tramp attacks insects with a jump and immobilizes with poison. For this reason, he does not weave a web. Individuals of this species have an elongated body and long legs, the maximum total size is not more than 5 cm.

Flies, cockroaches, two-tails, bedbugs - this is all that spiders eat in an apartment. After waiting for the victim to become entangled in the web, the spiders inject poison and digestive juice into it, when the insect dies, the predator sucks the insides out of it.

These creatures do not form populations, therefore, no matter how long domestic spiders live in an apartment, their numbers will not increase significantly, and with a lack of food, they breed only once, at the end of the life cycle. The life span of each individual depends on the species to which it belongs, as a rule, it is several months.

Reasons for appearing in the apartment

Why do spiders appear in the apartment? If they are regular guests in the home, it means that they are attracted by the conditions, the most important of which is the availability of food.

These creatures will not linger for long where there are no small insects. Therefore, the best way to prevent spiders in an apartment is to make sure that midges, cockroaches, and ants do not start.

There are other reasons for the invasion of spiders in the home:

• Favorable temperature. In autumn, spiders from the street look for a warmer place to live.
• Humidity level. Spiders, depending on their species, are attracted to both dry rooms and places with high humidity, for example, a basement or a bathroom
• Unsanitary conditions. In places where they are rarely cleaned, insects that serve as food for arthropods most likely live, spiders get enough food and actively breed.

Spiders themselves do not start, they enter the dwelling from the street in various ways, if the premises are suitable for life, they will settle for a long time, in the absence of food they will leave to look for a new place.

Where do spiders appear in the apartment:

1. small cracks in the floor;
2. open windows;
3. Street clothes;
4. pieces of furniture ( long time on the street);
5. field or garden flowers brought into the house (twigs of trees, berries).

If spiders appeared in large numbers in the apartment, then the reason is not accidental penetration from the street, but active reproduction is already inside the dwelling, in such a situation it is necessary to take measures to eliminate unpleasant neighbors. To do this, you need to know what spiders are afraid of. Chemical insect repellents, adhesive tapes, ultrasonic devices can cope with them. They are also repelled by many smells: paint, wallpaper paste, mint, orange.

Dangerous or not

One small black spider, brought in from the street, will not harm the living quarters and people. If the tenants are loyal to this creature, then they may well coexist with it. Another thing is if there are too many spiders and they actively weave a web, giving the room an untidy look - in this case, you need to take measures, for example, collect all arthropods and the fruits of their activities with a vacuum cleaner, identify and destroy egg clutches, poison insects.

Absolutely all of these creatures are poisonous, so many are interested in whether domestic spiders bite. In fact, they rarely attack such large prey as humans, but it is possible. The dose of poison is not significant, but the bite site must be treated with an antiseptic.

Spiders can be really dangerous for people suffering from arachnophobia (fear of arachnids). During an attack, while contemplating an arthropod, they may develop serious symptoms, up to suffocation.

Whether or not to destroy living beings in radical ways depends on which spiders live in apartments and in what quantity. If they are all different and are found on every corner, then it no longer matters whether domestic spiders are dangerous for humans or not - you need to get rid of them. First of all, by food deprivation.

From two or three individuals living in the house, there may be benefits. With their web, they are able to collect a large number of insects, sometimes more dangerous and unpleasant for humans than the arthropods themselves.

Why are there a lot of spiders in the apartment? It is hardly a matter of folk omens. Most likely, the owners themselves created favorable conditions for their living, it will take time and effort to evict uninvited guests. If individuals are rare, you should not resort to pest control in a panic, you can simply take the spider out into the street.

The spider came to the house

A huge number of signs and superstitions not only does not become obsolete over time, but, on the contrary, is replenished with an even larger number. So, taxi drivers and programmers, doctors and bank employees have their own signs. Signs are born by life itself, so a person should not be afraid of them, but use them for his own good. In addition, many of the signs have a different interpretation. For example, a sign: a spider in the house. If we consider the details of such a neighborhood, then it turns out that the presence of a spider house is a very good sign.

Where Do Uninvited Neighbors Come From?

Where do they come from

If the appearance of mice, ants and cockroaches in the house is associated with very specific sources, then the appearance of spiders in the house does not always have a logical explanation. With the exception of the regions of Asia, where spiders, especially in the territory of a private house, the phenomenon is not so rare.

However, in a city apartment, they seem to appear out of nowhere and can just as well disappear. A person who does not burden his life with the magic and mystery of some phenomena may not even notice their presence or sudden disappearance.

However, those who do not recognize accidents in life and see a veiled meaning in everything regard spiders as carriers of certain information. Such a furry neighbor crawls down the web, which means that you need to wait for bad news or loss, and up - for good. And almost every sign associated with spiders has a lot of nuances that must be taken into account when interpreting.

The most common signs

What can this lead to

Most often in houses there are grayish and smallish spiders, almost invisible to the naked eye. A black spider at home is a rarity. This is probably why an unexpected meeting with such an unattractive individual is classified as a bad sign of fate. Usually, the discovery of a black spider was associated with a warning about a serious illness or death of one of the relatives.

The presence of harmless gray spiders in the house is usually considered a good sign that promises prosperity and financial well-being to residents, unexpected profits.

A spider crawling along the sleeve of clothes portends the acquisition of new clothes. Finding a spider weaving a web means harmony and well-being in the family. In the latter case, it is better not to touch the spiders. Why ruin your own peace with your own hands?!

This meeting is no accident...

Where does the spider go

When a spider is found, not only where it crawls is important, but also when it was discovered. It is best to meet the spider after dinner. This means good luck in all matters. To find a spider in the house in the morning to pleasant chores and romantic relationships, in the late evening - to sadness and sadness. But there is another interpretation of the evening meeting with the spider: the fulfillment of a desire or the receipt of a gift that has long been dreamed of.

And, most importantly and pleasantly, if there are a lot of spiders in the house, this indicates the energy balance of housing, harmony in relations between the people living in it, peace and tranquility. Therefore, it is better to immediately think carefully whether it is worth getting rid of such a harmless, but favorable neighborhood, than later wondering “where happiness suddenly disappeared.”

Some of the most popular are the signs relating to the ancient mystical spider, which unexpectedly wove a web or simply showed up in its own house.

In ancient times, these creatures were considered magical animals with healing properties. There is a legend that it was this arthropod that saved Jesus from certain death by weaving the entrance to the cave with a web.

So, why do spiders appear at home, and what does this event predict? Basically, the discovery of this, sometimes unpleasant, roommate portends good news and events, and this is considered one of the reasons for the popularity of spider signs.
