The female carries her egg sac on the end of her abdomen and her hatchlings on her back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cellar spiders: <\/strong>Also known as the daddy-long-legs spider, this genus loves the damp conditions found in basements, where it likes to hang upside down in loose webs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>House spiders: <\/strong>You\u2019ll find these arachnids indoors, waiting to lure insects into their webs. They like to hide out under furniture and in dark corners. They range from 4 to 9 mm in body length, and their front pair of legs is the longest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Black widow spiders: <\/strong>Rare in Canada, the black widow prefers to spin small webs close to the ground, in dark spaces. It\u2019s easily identified by its shiny black colour and red hourglass mark on the underside. It can bite, so <strong>spider removal<\/strong> should be done while wearing protective gloves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fishing spiders: <\/strong>Similar in appearance to the wolf spider, the fishing spider usually lives near aquatic environments. In Canada, it is also known as a dock spider and can occasionally get into homes. Because of its large size, it often frightens people.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505921970713{background-color: #0055c5 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-padding&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;White_Text&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/espacepourlavie.ca\/en\/how-dangerous-are-spiders\">Spiders rarely bite humans; <\/a>doctors report that most cases of spider bites are misdiagnoses of other insect bites.
