Sac Spider

Sac spiders are named for the silk tubes they build for their homes. These sacks can be seen in foliage, on the ground, or in parts of the house – and are unique from other spiders. Sac spiders are up to 3/8″ long, and range in color from yellow-green to orange-brown. Since sac spiders roam about the house on walls and ceilings at night, they have more potential to end up biting humans. Typically people get bitten when these spiders get into clothes or in beds. In fact, most spider bites that are received inside are from these spiders. Bites are occasionally confused with that of a recluse, but are not nearly as bad and don’t always form a lesion.
