Spitting Spider

Description:

Habitat:

inside house

Notes:

I frequently find these spiders on the walls and ceilings of my home mostly at night. This one had caught one of the camel crickets which I also often find and am happy for them to eat. It immobilizes its prey by spitting a mixture of silk, glue, and venom onto it.
