cobweb spiders
Cobweb spiders, belonging to the family Theridiidae, are commonly found in homes and gardens. They are known for their irregular, tangled webs, which they use to catch insects. These webs are often seen in corners, under furniture, and in other undisturbed areas.
These spiders are typically small, with a body length ranging from 1 to 10 millimeters. They have a distinctive appearance, often featuring a rounded abdomen and long, slender legs. Cobweb spiders are generally harmless to humans and play a beneficial role in controlling pest populations by preying on insects like flies and mosquitoes.
