Common House Spider / Parasteatoda tepidariorum

Commonly found in and around human dwellings, basements, sheds, and under eaves.

Insects and other small invertebrates caught in their messy, tangled webs.

Known for building irregular cobwebs in corners. They are generally shy, sedentary hunters that wait for prey to become entangled.

Beneficial to ecosystems and homeowners by controlling pest insect populations; not medically significant to humans, though bites may cause minor localized irritation.
