Large wasp spiders appeared in the Moscow region: why should they be afraid?

Residents of the Moscow region, we have bad news for you. Recently, the population of large black and yellow spiders (they are also called wasp spiders) has increased in summer cottages and in the city.

It should be borne in mind that insects can be found in the house, gazebos or other places. Their size is up to 5 centimeters. Although black and yellow spiders are not considered dangerous, their bites are quite painful.

“Our photographers identified the species of spider that arouses fear in our compatriots, it turned out to be a wasp spider, which got this name because of its color. Initially, the wasp spider was not a typical representative of the fauna of the Moscow region, mainly because these arthropods could be found in the southern regions of our country. However, changes in weather conditions (relatively mild winters and hot summers, as well as the availability of a food base) contributed to the resettlement of these arthropods in the northern regions, ”said Tikhon Firsov, Minister of Ecology of the Moscow Region.
