Children often listen to this popular nursery rhyme to fall asleep, "good night, sleep well, don't let bugs bite you." An Australian father faced a crazier creature than a bedbug, and a giant spider crept up his sleeping son's pillow, but he didn't seem to worry.
According to the Daily Mail, Simon Perth resident Alan (Scotty Allen) shared a photo of his sleeping son's pillow next to his son's pillow in a photo shared by a local group on the social networking site Facebook. Alan seemed to be happy, not uneasy, about it.
Alan also rightly said: "with this baby guard, you don't have to worry about my child being bitten by bugs."
According to netizens identification, this is a tall spider, generally low risk, no aggression.
According to the National Park and Wildlife Foundation, (Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, tall-legged spiders are harmless to humans and are very useful in controlling mosquito and cockroach populations.
Tall-footed spiders don't weave webs. They wait quietly for insects and other invertebrates to approach and raid in due course.
