I don’t know about “protection” but I read somewhere about certain insects or reptiles that run towards humans in the desert for the shade they find in our shadows to escape the heat. This could be that?
Though maybe it’s time I fact checked that, because thinking about it now…why wouldn’t they just burrow in the sand to cool off?

Solifugae aren’t dangerous. Mosquitoes kill millions of people over the centuries. Barely anyone gets killed by spiders. If you live in Europe or North America spiders aren’t a legit thing to be too worried about.

Even if this were true, are people so dense they don’t know spiders are prey for things like birds,small mammals and reptiles, and other bugs? Like, I get some people are scared of spiders but be for real.
