What you should know
The most famous myth in the whole animal kingdom is about this thing, and it is wrong twice: it is not a spider, and it has no venom glands at all.
Whoa
It is more closely related to a scorpion than to a spider. It does not even build a web.
Staying safe around it
This one is genuinely harmless to people. Still look with your eyes and let it go about its day.
Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant. If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
