The tiny animals were handy helpers because they could crawl into spaces where larger animals couldn't go. Some people thought that spiders were witches' familiars. In one case, a man accused of witchcraft had almost convinced the court that he was innocent. But then a spider was seen crawling near his lips. The prosecutor said that the spider must be telling the witch what to say. The judge believed the prosecutor. The prisoner was sentenced to death. Today, some people are still afraid of spiders. But most kinds won't hurt you. This pin will come to you in a dark red net bag with matching drawstring. It will make a perfect gift.
