Common House

Spider
Common house spiders spin webs in the nooks and crannies of a
house. They are tiny organisms that measure less than a quarter of
an inch in length. Flies, mosquitoes, fleas, and ants are their main
sources of food. Despite the fact that these spiders produce venom,
their bite is deemed safe for humans and pets.

The scientific name for the common house spider, commonly known
as the American house spider, is Parasteatoda tepidariorum. The
spider genus Parasteatoda is named after the Latin term
tepidariorum, which means "warm habitat." These spiders seek
refuge inside warm buildings or homes.

They are members of the Theridiidae family and the Araneae order.
The common gray house spider is one of the subspecies.

The orangish-brown colour on the legs of male common house

spiders distinguishes them from females.

There are eight spiny legs and eight eyes on these spiders.
Surprisingly, despite having so many eyes, they can only see three or
four inches ahead of them.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the common house spider is
that its body resembles that of the black widow spider. Both of them
have a bulbous abdomen. Despite their similar appearance, a black
widow spider's venom is significantly more harmful.

The biggest type of house spider is the Giant house spider. The body
of a female giant house spider can grow to almost three-quarters of
an inch.
