There are more than 35,000 species of spiders worldwide,

Although mostly beneficial to our environment, many people have an inherent fear of spiders, which is known as Arachnophobia. This causes a feeling of discomfort just looking at the spider, which in the extreme can lead to excessive sweating, crying, and panic attacks.

Fortunately, most of the spider species found in Indonesia are not considered dangerous and are not pests. Some that may bite very rarely do so. If bitten by a spider, it often has very little effect on most people, while some species can cause an extraordinary reaction to their venom.
