Gardens, buildings, fences, and vegetation where it can anchor an orb web.

Catches and eats flying insects, including mosquitoes, flies, and moths.

Builds a circular web, often near buildings, and is mainly active at night. Usually rests near the web by day.

Not considered dangerous to people; bites are uncommon and generally mild. Helps control insect pests.
