Kukulcania

Kukulcania is a fancy word for a type of spider that likes to live in dark corners of homes and buildings. They are often mistaken for tarantulas because they have hairy legs and a big body.

These spiders are actually helpful to humans because they eat other bugs that we don't want around, like mosquitos and flies. They don't usually bite people unless they feel threatened, so it's best to leave them alone and let them do their job.

If you see a kukulcania spider in your home, don't be afraid! Just give them some space and let them help keep your home free of pests.
