Spider information links
Spiders in North America, with just a few exceptions are harmless
to humans.
The Widows, Recluse, and Hobo Spiders are the only real dangerous
North
American spiders. All spiders have some venom, used in killing
their insect
prey. They only bite if they feel trapped, or if someone is
playing with the
spider. In most cases, a bite is no worse than a bee sting.

Spiders are beneficial inhabitants of any garden, ecosystem, or
home because
of their important contributions to biological control of pest
insects.
Spiders are considered to be the most important terrestrial
predators,
eating tons of pest insects or other small arthropods every
year. Spiders
are generalist predators that are willing to eat almost any
insect they can
catch. They are abundant and found in most habitats. They only
need to be
left alone!
All About Spiders
There are many different types of spiders that live all over the
Earth in
practically every type of habitat. They come in colors including
black,
brown, white, gray, red, yellow, green, and orange. Most spiders
live for
about a year, but the tarantula can live for 15 years. Spiders
range in size
from barely visible to many inches across.
