Barn Funnel Weaver (or Domestic House Spider)

Commonly found in dark, undisturbed areas of buildings such as basements, attics, barns, and crawl spaces, where they build funnel-shaped webs.

Insects and other small arthropods that become trapped in its funnel web, which it navigates quickly using sensory vibrations.

Night-hunting predators that build flat mats of silk leading to a retreat funnel. They are timid and usually retreat into the funnel if they feel vibrations from a large intruder.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling indoor pests like flies and moths. They are not considered medically significant to humans, as their venom is weak and they rarely bite unless handled roughly.
