Then the spider quietly sucks out its victim's soupy insides. All that is left after a spider's meal is the insect's hollow shell. Some spiders have jaws that allow them to chew up the shells into tiny rubble that hardly anyone would notice. Shy and retiring If you don't mind walking into a web or two, spiders will hardly ever disturb you. Spiders live all around us, and they don't like company.
Poisonous spiders are some of the shyest.
Missouri only has two spiders whose poison can make people sick. They are the brown recluse and black widow. Brown recluse spiders like to live outside under rocks and stones, but they also make their small webs in quiet indoor places such as a closet or dresser drawer that isn't used very often. They may bite if they are disturbed. That's why it's important to make noise before opening old boxes and to shake out stored clothes and sleeping bags before using them.
