The Red Roman Spider, also known as a Sun Spider, is a strange creature belonging to the Arachnida class. They also somewhat resemble scorpions. They are not poisonous.
Many people refer to this spider as a “Haarskeerder” (Hair Cutter) or “Baardskeerder” (Beard Cutter) because of its sizable jaws and the fact that it often cuts the hair of sleeping people and animals.
