Giant House Spider

Typically found in dark, sheltered indoor areas like basements, garages, and wall cavities, as well as outdoor caves and woodpiles.

Strictly carnivorous, feeding on various insects and even other spiders by catching them in sheet webs or through rapid pursuit.

Fast-moving nocturnal hunters that build funnel-shaped sheet webs. They are known for their high speed and are often seen in late summer and autumn when males wander in search of mates.

They pose no significant risk to humans as they are not aggressive and their venom is considered medically insignificant; they provide ecological benefits by controlling indoor insect populations.
