Spiders are one of the most common insects in our lives, there will be many spider webs in the corners of the general house, and the owner of these spider webs is the ghost spider, they like to hide in the shadows of the room, living in indoor corners, under the sink, cabinet gaps, no sticky simple webs, called indoor spiders.
Ghost spider is not a spider, but a general term for a class of spiders, ghost spiders are generally not large, belong to medium-sized spiders, generally about 6 mm in length, the head and thorax are wide and round, the foot is extremely slender, more than 3 times the body length, so it is also called "long-legged spider".
Because they are very adapted to home life, ghost spiders almost live with humans, and their staple food is insects in the house, as well as other spiders, which rarely conflict with humans. Many countries and regions see them as beneficial spiders because they can help clean up some of the deadly poisonous spiders and rats.
It is reported that although the ghost spider is small and looks slender, it usually uses slender legs to restrain the prey to ensure that the prey stays within the attack range. The ghost spider has a pair of poisonous fangs, which are not very poisonous. When a ghost spider encounters danger, it will swing up and down and to the left and right to avoid the attack. The more common ghost spiders mostly use their abdomen to exert force and shake up and down.
Farmers in Versali, inland Australia, witnessed the ghost spider killing a two-meter-long snake and said the snake was certainly dead.
Don't look at the ghost spider looks very delicate, in fact, it is also a fierce hunter, it will quietly crawl into other spider webs to steal prey, and even sneak attack other spiders. However, ghost spiders are not poisonous and do not cause harm to people. It forms a net to prey on insects and is a beneficial insect.
