minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·6 months agoI’m not in Australia. The only spiders I know of that might nest under a dandelion are small American jumping spiders. They’re effectively harmless, and honestly I wouldn’t eat them, as they are our cute 8 legged kittens that eat the other bugs out there.

minus-squarethemeatbridge@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoAlmost all of our spiders are completely harmless. Even the black widow and brown recluse are not as dangerous as people think. We spray for bugs because people don’t want house spiders in their house.
