Ok, so my front deck is littered with these brown spiders and they hang out in the corners of the ceiling and in the doorways and i really wanted to make sure i knew what they were. I don't dislike spiders, but they're not my favorite. So this is the one I've been seeing the most. Its a brown sac spider and is in the 2-clawed hunting spider category. It's a typical house spider that generally hangs out in ceilings or walls. But they can be found outside in the grass, under rocks or on plants too. Because it has 2 claws they do bite, but I saw a couple of them in the house and haven't had any bites. They are small to medium sized (which still looks pretty big) around 1/5-2/5 inch long. They don't make webs like people are normally used to, but they do make cobweb looking homes which include leaves wrapped up in silk. I have noticed this, and the leaves and extra silk sacs hang from these cobweb looking spider homes. (gross...) They are not potentially dangerous at all, and just kind of do their own thing, but they are very good at dangling in front of my face when i try to get into my front door at night, which is pretty skeevy but it's good that they wont hurt me!
