Broad-faced Sac Spider

Found outdoors under leaf litter, rocks, or logs; commonly enters homes in the fall to find a warm place to overwinter.

Carnivorous; feeds on other spiders and dead or dying insects.

Night-active hunters that do not build webs for prey capture; instead, they build silken retreats for resting and overwintering.

Provides natural pest control by eating other insects. While their bite can be painful and cause mild localized swelling, they are generally not dangerous to humans unless a secondary infection occurs.
