Grant money spider? I do not. thats That’s cool. What is it? It’s literally a small spider that comes down on a long thread from a ceiling or from a tree over your head, and there’s a superstition that if you see a money spider and it lands on your shoulder, you’ll come into some money soon.
Oh, how about that? I love it. So it’s any kind of spider that comes down on a thread and lands on your shoulder.
Yes, they’re usually really little. And in this country, apparently you say money spinner.
Money spinner. Oh, I love the ones where language and folklore coincide. Yes. May a money spider or a money spinner land on your shoulder. Thank you.
In our house, we protect the spiders because they stop the other bugs.
We do too. Get that glass and an index card and carry them outside. That’s right. Where do folklore and language intersect in your life?
