Running Spider (often Ghost Spider or Philodromid)

Found on vegetation, tree bark, and frequently indoors on walls or ceilings, especially during seasonal changes.

Strictly carnivorous; they hunt small insects like flies, gnats, and aphids using speed rather than webs.

They are active hunters that do not build webs to catch prey. They are known for being extremely fast and agile, often lying flat against a surface to remain camouflaged before darting away.

Beneficial to humans as they provide natural pest control for indoor insects. They are not medically significant; while they can bite if pinched or mishandled, their venom is harmless to humans.
