Carnivorous; feeds on various household insects such as flies, silverfish, ants, and other small arthropods.

Constructs a flat, sheet-like web that leads into a tubular retreat where the spider waits for prey. They are nocturnal hunters and generally shy away from humans.

Non-aggressive and medically insignificant to humans. They provide a beneficial service by helping to control household insect populations.
