Common House Spider (Giant House Spider)

Often found in residential areas, basements, garages, and dark crevices in gardens or outbuildings.

Carnivorous, primarily feeding on insects such as flies, moths, and other small invertebrates.

Active hunters that build funnel-shaped webs; known for their extreme speed when running across floors to escape or catch prey.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling pest populations; they are not aggressive toward humans and their venom is not considered medically significant.
