Description
The Comb-footed Spider has a mottled light brown body.
Size
8mm
Habitat
build untidy tangle webs against walls and among leaves on trees and shrubs. The web may include a curled leaf as a retreat for the spider.

The female constructs several white silk egg sacs, which are secured within the web retreat. The female stays with the eggs until they hatch. The spiderlings then disperse. The spiders mature during summertime and live for about two years.
