busted The House Spider is brown in color and its body is about 3/8-inch long. Its abdomen is spherically shaped, and is white to brown in color with several dark markings. Males are smaller than females, and their legs are orange in color. The female's legs are yellow. This spider is the most common type of comb-footed spider, a group that includes the black widow species. They are urban pests named after the comb-like row of bristles located on the tarsi of their fourth pair of legs. House spiders are common throughout the world, and their webs are most often found in corners, basements, crawlspaces, under furniture and around windows. The venom is necrotic, causing open, localized wounds that may be slow to heal but Despite its aggressive nature, reported bites from this spider are relatively rare.
