Ghost Spider (or similar Long-legged Spider)

Found in foliage, shrubs, and gardens; occasionally enters homes during seasonal changes or in search of prey.

Carnivorous; hunts small insects like flies, leafhoppers, and caterpillars.

Active nocturnal hunters that do not build traditional capture webs. They move quickly and use silk to build small tubular retreats for resting and egg-laying.

Generally harmless to humans; they are beneficial to the ecosystem and gardens by controlling pest insect populations. Their fangs are usually too small to penetrate human skin.
