A selection of house spiders
We share our homes with other animals whether we like it or not. In fact our homes and buildings are as valid habitats as grassland or forest, with their own particular flora and fauna, insects and spiders included.
Scurrying around your house there may be several species of spider including:
- House Spider Tegenaria species
- Pink Prowler Oonops domestica
- Spitting Spider Scytodes thoracica
- Daddy Long-legs Spider Pholcus phalangioides
- The very rare Wine Cellar Spider Psilochorus simoni
- Jumping Spider Salticus scenicus (mainly on outside walls)
- Missing Sector Orb Weaver Zygiella x-notata (mainly on outside windows)
