This is a house spider that we often find in the attic or on the ceiling of our homes. This particular spider has a very unique body shape. It has very long legs and a relatively small body.

Although this spider is completely harmless to humans, I believe that almost 90% of people do not like having it around. The reason is that this spider builds webs on the ceilings of houses, where dust and insects can get trapped, making the house look dirty.Even so, this spider also has its benefits. It is a natural pest controller in our homes, helping to catch mosquitoes, flies, and other small insects. If we have ever seen spider webs on the ceilings of our homes, this is the spider responsible for making them.Its legs are very long and quite fragile, while its body is so small that it is very difficult for me to capture the details of its body.At that time, I could only photograph it using my phone camera, and some of the pictures did not show very clear details.

Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this house spider here.
