Cellar spider (long-bodied cellar spider)

Indoors in quiet, sheltered corners, basements, bathrooms, and garages; also occurs in caves and other protected spaces.

Catches small insects and other spiders in irregular, delicate webs.

Hangs upside down in its web and may vibrate rapidly when disturbed. Females carry their egg cluster in their jaws; spiderlings disperse after hatching.

Harmless to people and pets; its bite is rare and medically insignificant. It can help reduce household insect and spider numbers.
