How so?

  They are small like another poster mentioned, but their big primary eyes and their behavior makes them seem a lot less threatening than other spiders as well. For example, if they notice you they tend to reposition themselves to get a better look at what you are. They are also pretty rare to find indoors, which means you're not likely to be surprised by them while brushing your teeth or taking a shower.

  They're extremely small, the photo in the article is misleading: the prose explains they're ~1 mm in size

    If you find macro shots of their faces too they kinda look like dogs with a few extra eyes

    The only time I've seen one, that I know, it was around 6mm. When it jumped, so did I!

    They're from 1 to 2.5 cm in size, at least the ones in the article are - Portia.
