Spiders

The poisonous nature of the spider bite is one of the major reasons to fear a spider infestation.  Second only to snakes in their ability to be loathed by humans, most spider bites appear on the hands, arms or feet.

Spiders have two body regions connected by a restricted waist or pedicel.  Spiders have eight legs and eight or fewer eyes.

Spiders are predators and require prey to survive. Spiders frequently stray into dwellings or other indoor habitats, or may be accidentally introduced on firewood, laundry hung out to dray and on flowers.
