Natural Habitat

Common indoors near windows, walls, ceilings, and lights; outdoors on vegetation, fences, and buildings.

Diet & Feeding

Predatory; mainly hunts flies, mosquitoes, mites, and other small arthropods rather than using a capture web.

Behavior Patterns

Usually active by day, with excellent vision and short pouncing movements. It may build a small silk retreat for resting, molting, or overwintering.

Risks & Benefits

Generally harmless to people; bites are rare and usually mild. It is beneficial indoors and outdoors because it consumes nuisance insects.
