Morning and Night Spiders

Sep 11, 2018 23:23
There is a superstition related to spider in Japan.

It is "If you find spiders in the morning, you should let them go even if they are hateful enemies. If you find spiders at night, you should kill them even if they are families."

In Japan, it is said that spiders in the morning are a kind of lucky items.

In fact, since spiders make a web on only sunny days, seeing a spider in the morning means that the day will be sunny.

On the other hand, this superstition says that you should kill spiders at night, but actually, you shouldn't do that.

This is because spiders are beneficial insects that eat pests such as cockroaches and flies.
朝蜘蛛と夜蜘蛛

日本には蜘蛛に関する迷信があります。

それは、「朝の蜘蛛は仇でも逃がせ、夜の蜘蛛は親でも殺せ」です。

日本では朝の蜘蛛は、縁起が良いとされてきました。

実際、蜘蛛は晴天の日にしか巣を張らないので、朝に蜘蛛を見かけると晴れることが多いです。

夜の蜘蛛は悪い印象からか、この迷信では「殺せ」と言っていますが、実際は殺すべきではありません。

蜘蛛はゴキブリやハエなどの害虫を食べてくれる益虫であるからです。

This is a really interesting superstition. I also think spiders are worth keeping around!
