Grass Spider (likely a funnel weaver)

Lawns, fields, gardens, tall grass, shrubbery, building foundations. They construct characteristic funnel-shaped webs with a retreat.

Mainly small insects that get trapped in their webs, such as flies, mosquitoes, crickets, and grasshoppers.

These spiders are non-migratory and build distinctive sheet-like webs with a funnel-shaped retreat at one end. They wait in the funnel for prey to land on the web, then rush out to capture it. They are very fast runners. Males actively search for females during breeding season.

Generally considered harmless to humans, as their venom is not medically significant, and they are not aggressive. They are beneficial for pest control, eating many common garden and household insects.
