Prowling spiders
Scientific name: Miturgidae
Description
Miturgidae are neither aggressive towards humans nor particularly dangerous. Often mistaken for the more venomous relatives due to their similar appearance, Miturgidae spiders actually possess a low-threat venom that primarily targets small insects and pests. This adaptation allows them to thrive as natural pest controllers, emphasizing the ecological benefits they provide, which are far from the frightening myths often associated with spiders.
