About
Massachusetts Spiders: There are a few
common spiders you can find in Massachusetts and
they are the Wolf Spider, House Spider,
Daddy Long Legs and the Black
Widow
to name a few.
The
Wolf Spiders
can be seen through out Massachusetts.
Wolf spiders are in the lycosidae family of
spiders, and are well known for being larger,
hairier and---to many---scarier than any other
type of spider in Massachusetts. They live
mostly solitary lives and hunt alone. Some are
opportunistic wanderer hunters, pouncing upon
prey as they find it or chasing it over short
distances. Others lie in wait for passing prey,
often from or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf
spiders will inject
venom
freely if continually provoked.
The
House Spiders
are common in Massachusetts. The house spider,
or common house spider is characterized by
having striped legs that are alternating tan and
dark brown in color. The main torso is generally
a dark brown and is usually adorned with
lighter-colored designs. As the name implies,
house spiders are often found inside homes,
especially in attics, basements and on ceilings.
The
Daddy Long Leg Spiders
are one of the most abundant types of indoor
spiders in Massachusetts, outdoors the daddy
long legs is king. They are known to live in
tree trunks and other organic materials, but can
commonly be observed scurrying across lawns and
through gardens. In addition to being long, the
legs of the daddy long legs are incredibly thin
and delicate.
The
Black Widow Spider
The black widow spider is most common in the
South, but exists in Maryland and as far north
as Massachusetts in the East. The spider lives
outside under fallen branches, under benches and
tables, in the window well of basement windows,
in woodpiles and in structures such as barns,
sheds and garages. The black widow is a venomous
spider, with only the females biting; males
refrain from doing so.
