Brown Spitting Spider

Also known as Dark Common Spitting Spider, Dusky Spitting Spider

Brown spitting spiders hunt under cover of darkness, using a specialized trapping technique to immobilize prey from a safe distance. Their dome-shaped cephalothorax houses large glands that produce a sticky mixture of silk and venom, ejected in a lightning-fast zigzag pattern onto unsuspecting insects. Widespread across warm regions globally, these secretive nocturnal arachnids frequently inhabit dark nooks inside human buildings.
