Spider menace

Digg!

The Spider is Here

"Weaving spiders, come not here;" - Shakespeare
House Spider

The American house spider, I saw two of them which my fiend pointed out to me, is a small creature about a quarter of an inch and they normally choose some corner near the roof and remain unseen. They are not seen moving and dine on still smaller insects, like mosquitoes which may get stuck in their webs. So in a way they seem to help man. But I hear people saying that they get some skin allergy in the form of red rash or simple itching which may cause a few red lines on the skin because of our action. These normally disappear in a few hours and no side effects are normally seen.

The spiders also serve to explain to children what are insects and why a spider is not considered one.
