Spitting Spider

Inhabits buildings, houses, and caves; typically found in dark, undisturbed corners under furniture.

Carnivorous; feeds on other small insects and spiders, including silverfish, flies, and other house spiders.

Nocturnal hunter that moves slowly. It captures prey by spitting a mixture of silk and venom in a zigzag pattern from its fangs to immobilize it from a distance.

Harmless to humans as their fangs are too small to penetrate skin. Highly beneficial to the household ecosystem by controlling indoor pest populations.
