Wall Spider
Theridion murarium
Wall spiders are small cobweb spiders often found on walls, around stonework, and in sheltered corners where they build irregular tangle webs. They wait near the web for tiny flies, gnats, and other small arthropods, then subdue prey with silk and a venomous bite. Their muted coloring and habit of staying close to cracks help them avoid notice. Like many theridiid spiders, they rely more on trapping and ambush than on active pursuit.
