Barn funnel weaver
The barn funnel weaver is a spider that often shares homes with people. It builds funnel-shaped webs in corners of houses, sheds and cellars. It is shy and rarely bites.1

Com reconèixer-lo
- Adults are typically dark orange to brown or beige, sometimes greyish.1
- Its legs are striped.1
- It has two dull, black stripes running along the top of the front part of its body.1
- Its abdomen is mottled in brown, beige and grey, with a chevron pattern across the top, like an argyle pattern.1
- Females are about 7.5 to 11.5 mm long. Males are smaller, about 6 to 9 mm, with longer, more agile legs.1
Sovint es confon amb: It was once thought to be a close relative of the Giant House Spider. That spider has since been moved to the genus Eratigena and split into three distinct species.1
Poder del verí
El verí surt pels ullals o les dents quan mossega.
Com de perillós és per a les persones?
Perill per a les persones: LleuCom una picada d'abella o menys. Pràcticament inofensiu per a les persones.Spiders of the genus Tegenaria rarely bite. A bite only happens in self-defence, and it is unlikely to break the skin.1
Què fa quan té por?
When its web is undisturbed, it retreats to the tip of the funnel and stops responding to movement. If the web is damaged, it tries to flee or curls its body into a ball against a wall or nearby object.1

Estigues segur
- No toquis, atrapis ni molestis mai un animal salvatge, encara que sigui petit i encara que sembli adormit o mort.
- Deixa-li espai. Si en trobes un, mantén la calma, recula a poc a poc i deixa que segueixi el seu camí.
- Si te'n mossega un: mantén la calma, no et moguis, truca al número d'emergències (112, 000, 911) o ves de pressa a un hospital. Recorda com era, una foto ajuda.
No va a per tu. Fa servir el verí per caçar o per defensar-se, i prefereix mil vegades amagar-se. Més sobre com estar segur

Dades
In a cave between Greece and Albania, thousands of these spiders were found sharing a web over 100 square metres with another species, which is unusual for them.1
Some females living indoors in rarely disturbed places have reportedly lived for as long as seven years.1
Males usually die in autumn, soon after mating, and rarely live for more than a year.1
Its webs can become quite large if they are left undisturbed.1
Most of its eyes face forward, which helps it spot movement and focus on prey.1
Desmuntamites
Mite: This spider is aggressive and will attack people.
Veritat: It is not particularly aggressive and will often retreat when confronted.1
