The most poisonous spiders are also seen in the Łódź region. Fortunately, they are far from the most dangerous, exotic, which can even kill a human being.
The bite of our local spiders is also painful and can even cause fainting. In the worst case, however, we will experience a severe allergic reaction, similar to a hornet or wasp sting.
Especially at the turn of summer and autumn, spiders become active, because many spiders have their mating season in summer, which can also be seen in the Łódź region.

5. Strojniś nadobny
One of the most colorful spiders we can meet around us. It occurs on sunny grasslands with sparse vegetation, most often on the southern slopes. In hunting these spiders, very good eyesight, which is as efficient as human sight, helps.
6. Teutonic Knights
Spiders in this family are characterized by a distinct cross pattern on the abdomen. The Teutonic spider occupied a unique position among the arthropods used to predict the weather. According to folk beliefs, their behavior foretold certain changes in weather conditions. Thus, low-mobility spiders that descend down a cobweb from the ceiling or sit in hiding were to herald rainy weather. On the other hand, the frequent appearance of spiders during rain, the building of large cobwebs and significant mobility were to signify the arrival of sunny weather.
7. Corner
Active at night. It inhabits dark places, such as flower beds, piles of wood, cellars and dark corners in human settlements. Builds funnel-shaped hunting nets. It is even more than 2 centimeters long (not counting the legs) and is often found in our apartments. Its jaws are strong enough to break through human skin.

Sometimes, however, he does them at a higher level, e.g. in bushes or among hedges. Funnel’s web is a real masterpiece.
