Common Household Spiders:

Orb Weaver or Garden Spider (family Araneidae): These spiders all construct the characteristic circular, flat wheel-like web (orb web) in which flying insects are trapped. Some construct elaborate and beautiful, large webs in gardens and tall vegetation, especially obvious in the late summer and early autumn months. They have poor vision and locate the prey by feeling the vibration and tension of the threads in their web and then quickly, by turning the captive with their legs, use silk to wrap the victim. The prey is bitten before being carried to the center of the web or to a corner where it is eaten. Anything inedible is cut out of the web and dropped to the ground. In the fall, female orb-weavers die soon after producing egg sacs containing several hundred eggs. Eggs may hatch soon after or not until the following spring. Many adult spiders are large, some with oddly shaped abdomens (pointed spurs, conical tubercles, etc., in various colors of black, yellow, orange, red, white, brown, green, etc.).

One common garden spider, known as the black and yellow garden spider, has silver hairs on the back of its forward body section and a large abdomen marked in black and bright yellow (or orange). The common garden spider is approximately 25 mm (1 inch) long and hangs head down in the center of the web. It is often found in brambles, bushes and tall grasses in open, sunny places near human habitations where flying insects blunder into the trap. Egg sacs are spherical and narrowed at one end and covered with a tough brown, paper-like silk. These spiders are not considered dangerous, despite their formidable appearance, but they can bite if handled or molested.
