Yellow Sac Spider

Gardens, shrubs, and frequently found indoors resting in small silk sacs in corners of ceilings or behind furniture.

Carnivore; actively hunts small insects and other spiders at night.

Nighttime hunters that do not build webs for catching prey, but rather create small silken retreats (sacs) for resting during the day. They are known for being more prone to bite if disturbed within their sac.

Bite can be painful, similar to a bee sting, and may cause localized swelling or itching; however, they are generally not considered medically significant. They benefit the ecosystem by controlling indoor and garden pests.
