Interesting Facts
While spiders may be scary, they’re also pretty interesting. Most people are familiar with the eight-legged creatures, but there are actually over 40,000 species of spiders in the world. Here are some fascinating facts about these often feared creatures:
- Spiders are found on every continent except Antarctica. In fact, there are more species of spiders in tropical climates than anywhere else.
- They are not insects. They are actually arachnids, which means they are more closely related to scorpions and mites than they are to ants and beetles.
- They generally eat insects, but some larger species have been known to eat birds and small mammals.
- The majority of spiders live an average of two years, though some species can live for up to 20 years.
Spiders in Brisbane
If you live in Brisbane, chances are you’ve run into a spider or two. These eight-legged creatures are found all over the city, and while some of them are harmless, others can be quite dangerous. There are many different types of spiders that can be found in Brisbane, Queensland. Some of the most common ones include the redback spider, huntsman, daddy long legs, and white-tailed spider.
The good news is that there are a few things you can do to discourage them from taking up residence in your home. First, make sure that all of your screens are in good repair and free of holes. Spiders can squeeze through very small openings, so it’s important to keep them sealed up. Second, try to keep your house as clean as possible. Spiders are attracted to food sources, so they’re more likely to enter a home that has crumbs or other debris lying around.

Three Signs Spiders Have Moved In
If you’re worried about spiders taking up residence in your home, there are a few key signs to look out for.
One telltale sign of spiders is the presence of webs. While some spiders build their webs out in the open, others prefer to hide away in dark corners or behind furniture. If you start seeing webs around your home, it’s a good idea to take a closer look for other signs .
Another sign to watch out for is egg sacs. These small, round sacks are often filled with dozens of eggs and are commonly found in hidden corners or under furniture.
Finally, if you see spiders themselves, it’s a pretty good indication that they’ve made themselves at home in your house and there might be more nearby!

Spiders are looking for two things when they enter your home: food and shelter. Your home provides them with plenty of places to build their webs and hunt for insects. Spiders are also attracted to light, so they may come inside if they see a light on in your home at night.
