Rabbit hutch spider
KuumwaThe rabbit hutch spider is a small, brown cobweb spider. It is common in North America and Europe, and often lives close to people in basements and sheds. It is special because it looks a lot like the dangerous black widow spiders, but it is much less harmful.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- The abdomen (rear body) is bulbous, or rounded, and brownish in both sexes.1
- A broken pale line runs down the centre of the abdomen, with another pale line across the front part.1
- The top of the abdomen has a pair of dark dimples, which are places where muscles attach.1
- The underside of the abdomen has a pattern that looks like the infinity sign.1
- Females are light brown and often shiny, while males are usually duller.1
- It rarely grows bigger than 7 mm in body length.1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: It has a similar shape to black widow spiders in the genus Latrodectus, so it can be mistaken for them. Species of the genus Steatoda are commonly called 'false widows' for this reason. Its bite is much less dangerous to people than a black widow's bite.1
