You may have noticed it. We see more and more spiders in houses at the moment. They are not more numerous than in previous years, but they go out, because it is the season of love. The spider spider, with its thick legs, is the most common species in our homes. The one you are likely to encounter right now is probably a hunting male.
“The male has a little particular palps with balls at the end. It is at the level of his balls that he will store his sperm. It is he who will try to put it in the female’s genital orifice. It’s quite complicated for him. He’s risking his life doing it, but the call of the female is bigger than that“, explains Rudy Caparrosentomologist at the University of Liège.
At home, the spiderweb does us a favor by eating flies and mosquitoes. But despite this, she is rarely welcome. However, the spiderweb is harmless. “They are not aggressive at all. We have no problem with spiders in our homes. Ce are not not dangerous species“, specifies Rudy Caparros.
Often in houses there are fewer females than males.
