Actually, that's bullshit. Spiders do not crawl into what they consider a predator''s mouth.
Actually, it isn't. I didn't spend years studying Earth Science so some kid could come along and correct me.
Spiders are smart, but they lack the intelligence to keep away from surface moisture. Your mouth happens to have that Moisture, and Spiders are attracted to it.
Now, Spiders are also attracted to what is considered the standard temperature of a room in a house. Approximately Thirty to thirty five spiders come into your house yearly.
Half of that amount goes into your mouth because of the moisture. While you're drifting into REM and something light makes contact with you, the sensitivity of the nerves in your mouth react and you either move your mouth around or swallow and so the Spider gets accidentally eaten.
Case closed.
