Spiders often cause more fear than harm. There are many common misconceptions about them. It is helpful to know the truth when you find one in your home.
One myth is that spiders are always aggressive. Most spiders are actually shy. They only bite if they feel threatened. Another myth suggests you swallow many spiders in your sleep. This is not true. Spiders avoid people and vibrations. They do not crawl into mouths. Spiders are also not insects. They are arachnids with eight legs, not six.
