Spiders
Black Widow Spiders
Black widow spiders are most recognized for the red hourglass shape under their abdomen. Contrary to legend, female black widow spiders rarely devour the male black widow spider after mating.
Brown Recluse Spiders
Brown recluse spiders have a characteristic dark brown violin marking on their back.
Hunter Spiders
Some spiders do not build webs and are known as “hunters” that actually hunt, ambush or run down their prey. These spiders usually live outside in gardens, around the structure and foundations.
Web-Building Spiders
Some spiders, like orb weavers, make very distinctive large round/circular webs. Others make rather unorganized webs, or funnel-shaped webs. These spiders build these webs to capture their food source (mainly flying insects).
