Tube Web Spider
Segestria florentina
The tube web spider inhabits cracks in walls, stonework, and bark, where it builds a silk-lined tube retreat with radiating trip lines. It waits at the entrance, sensing vibrations from passing insects and other small arthropods before rushing out to seize them. Its powerful chelicerae deliver venom, and the iridescent green fangs of adults are a notable identifying feature.
