Science determines the time when spiders are most likely to occur in the home

A study has shown when you are most likely to catch spiders. Be careful.

All houses in this world have spiders. Whether you want to believe this or not, it is true, unless you live in Antarctica.

Because spiders live everywhere, it is unlikely that at one time you are startled when you see a large, hairy spider crawling on the ceiling. And for those who suffer from arachnophobia , it must be extremely unpleasant experiences.

But be assured, at least you have the same science. Recently, experts in the UK have published a somewhat strange study, which is to determine the time when spiders crawl and crawl around your home.

All houses in this world have spiders.

Specifically, experts from Gloucestershire University developed a mobile app called "Spider in da House". This App has been published since 2013, with the aim of capturing the moments when users across the UK encounter 8-legged feathers.

Within 5 years, they collected 10,000 reports in more than 250 locations, about when users saw spiders. The data includes time, area of ​​appearance, room appearance, and . gender of the spider.

Results showed that most spiders appear to be male spiders. The time they appeared most was 6-8 am , then once more in the evening, at 19:30 .

To explain, experts say cases of spiders in the morning are mostly in the bathroom and when washing their faces, because spiders have crawled into it at night. In the evening, they appear when people are resting, relaxing and watching television - the time is "free" to look around and see them.

Not safe anywhere .

But more importantly, that time period is also very biologically significant. According to Professor Adam Hart, a member of the research team, that is the time when male spiders tend to find their best mate.

"Spiders nest in the corner of the room, in the garage, and on the windows. Male spiders don't make nests. They crawl around to find opportunities to build families" - Adam Hart said.

"Your house has spiders, then of course they have to search there too."

However, Professor Hart also emphasized that these are not the only time spiders appear. It was only the time when people were most likely to catch it.

"We don't usually stay home during the day. When we come back and rest at night, it's easier to see at that time."

And anyway, most spiders appear harmless in your home. They can't even bite you, so there's no way any Spider Man will appear.

The study is published in the journal Arachnology.
