House Spider

Description:

We call these House Spiders because they can be found in our homes, catching mosquitoes hovering near the lights outside our houses. I just don't know what kind of spiders they really are. They're not venomous and they run to a hidden place when touched.

Nice spot Yuri & interesting info Jerry!

It looks like what the kids catch for their spider fights. They put two on a stick to determine a winner. Not only kids, adults will also places bets on their favorites.
