I’ve always been fascinated and a little creeped out by spiders. This is probably very common, but I know that some people are deathly afraid of spiders. The truth of the matter an overwhelming majority of spiders will not hurt you and are actually great at hunting more damaging insects. However, there are a few venomous arachnids that you need to be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are over 3,000 species of spider in the U.S. and many are harmless. That being said, there are a handful that are considered to be the most venomous: The Black Widow, The Brown Recluse, The Daddy Long Legs, The Hobo, The Funnel Web Grass Spider, The Brown Widow, The Wolf, The Orb Weaving Spider, The Tarantula, and The Red Widow. For those that don’t already know, many people confuse other insects with spiders, but there are simple indicators that you can use to spot these unwelcome visitors. All spiders possess eight legs and a set of fangs to inject venom when threatened\/excited. Their central anatomy also looks like a pair of imperfect spheres, which is distinctly different from other bugs found in the wilderness or your house.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
