Barn Spider

Found near human structures like barns, porches, and under eaves, as well as in caves and wooded areas.

Carnivorous; feeds primarily on flying insects like moths and flies caught in its large orb web.

Nocturnal; they build a new web each evening and often tear it down during the day to hide in nearby crevices.

Beneficial to ecosystems by controlling insect populations. They are not aggressive towards humans and their venom is not medically significant.
