Brown Button Spider (or Brown Widow)

Typically found in urban areas, tucked into crevices, under outdoor furniture, woodpiles, or near debris and structures.

Carnivorous; they eat a variety of insects and other spiders captured in their messy, tangled webs.

Night-active hunters that stay within their web. They are known for their distinctive spiky/tufted egg sacs and an orange or yellow hourglass marking on the underside.

They are beneficial for pest control as they eat insects. While they possess neurotoxic venom, they are much less aggressive and their bite is typically less severe than a Black Widow, usually resulting in localized pain and redness.
