Common House Spider

Found globally in or near man-made structures, including houses, sheds, and garages, often in corners, under furniture, or near window frames.

Carnivorous; feeds primarily on insects like flies, mosquitoes, ants, and other small spiders caught in its web.

Builds irregular, tangled cobwebs. They are generally solitary and can live for more than a year; females produce multiple pear-shaped, tan egg sacs during their lifespan.

Benefits humans by providing natural pest control for indoor insects. They are non-aggressive and their venom is not considered medically significant to humans, though a bite may cause localized redness or swelling.
