Searunner Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hi I was sitting in my easy chair in the lounge this morning and suddenly noticed this insect scurrying across the tiles. Initially I thought it was a small spider but on closer inspection I think it is a mite of some sort. I keep a very clean apartment that is vacuumed twice a week. No pets and the condo management do pest control regularly. does anyone know what it is, are there likely to be more lurking around and how do I get rid of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Wow! It looks like a crab! Mites are usually tiny almost microscopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeBOzbourne Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It might feel insulted being called an insect. Arachnid might be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cmjc Posted January 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2022 Yes, fear not, it's a delightful Jumping Spider, completely harmless to mammals, and very helpful for removing insects in you home's crevices. Far safer than the carcinogenic pesticides your condominium management regularly throw around your home. A Romanian film company made a series of charming cartoon-like films about them, and what their world appears like (with so many eyes!) 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bite victims may experience red, swollen, painful wounds, and in more severe cases, fever, headache, and nausea. If you're feeling poorly after a bite, consider visiting a doctor.Jun 16, 2020 I have been bitten on several occasions by Jumping Spiders and it is not pleasant - when bitten you can tell by the double puncture marks compared to a single mosquito or fly bite.
