Question

Are crab spiders good or harmful for the environment?

Community Answer

They are not very harmful to the environment, though they have a painful bite if big enough to puncture the human skin. If you have insects like mosquitoes, wasps, or bees, it would be good to keep them around. If you find one inside, simply scoop it into a cup and gently place it outside on or under a plant.
