Eastern Parson Spider

Under rocks, logs, or loose bark; frequently found indoors wandering on walls or ceilings.

Active nocturnal hunter that feeds on small insects and other spiders.

Unlike many spiders, they do not spin a web to catch prey. They are fast-moving hunters that roam at night and rest in silken retreats during the day.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling pest populations. While they are not considered medically significant to humans, their bite can be painful and may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
