Why do spiders not move for days?
In the spider’s legs, the muscles only pull the legs “in”. In order to extend their legs, spiders have to pump their “blood” (technically hemolymph) into their legs. If the spider needs to spend long periods moving or exerting itself, it will deprive its other organs of this blood, and cause it to tire out.
Why do spiders stay in one place for so long?
They will stay on their web or in their burrow often in the same position, for incredible periods of time without much movement, waiting for prey to come to them. As it could be weeks, maybe months before their next meal, they need to conserve their energy, by being masters of inactivity.
Why do spiders freeze when you see them?
The principals are responsible for detecting shape, and secondaries for detecting movement. When they see something moving, the spider body freezes, but if you were to measure muscle activity, you’d notice that the secondary eye muscles are constantly working (this happens even if you cover the principal eyes).
Can spiders remember you?
Most spiders don’t have the capacity to remember you because they have poor eyesight, and their memory is not meant to remember things, but to allow them to move in space better. Instead, they have exceptional spatial capabilities and are able to create intricate webs with ease thanks to their spatial recognition.
Why do spiders crawl towards you?
When it comes to spiders, the idea that they crawl on you when you sleep is a myth. Spiders tend to shy away from humans, and just because you’re asleep, doesn’t mean they take that as an opportunity to attack. If a spider did happen to crawl over you at night, more than likely the passage will be uneventful.
Why do spiders stare at you?

They have the best eyesight and yes they see you. You’re guess is as good as mine. ‘YOU LOOKING AT ME PAL’. Many spiders dont have great eyesight, they rely on movement within their web, at which they are extremely adept, or changes in air pressure around them, thats why some are so hairy.

Should I be scared of a spider in my room?
If you truly can’t stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of smashing it, try to capture it and release it outside. But if you can stomach it, it’s OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, it’s normal. And frankly, even if you don’t see them, they’ll still be there.
Can you befriend a spider?

Why do spiders freak me out?
Arachnophobes report the “leginess” and “sudden movement” of spiders as what scares them the most. Their creepy looks may freak us out because our brains can’t predict their quick erratic movement.
