Cellar Spider

Dark, damp, or secluded areas such as basements, cellars, caves, and corners of ceilings in homes.

Mainly insects and other spiders; they are known to invade other spiders' webs to eat them.

They build messy, irregular webs and exhibit a 'vibrating' behavior when disturbed, shaking their web rapidly to blur their silhouette from predators.

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling household pests; they are harmless to humans as their fangs are generally unable to penetrate human skin and their venom is not medically significant.
