The most common of these are the black widow and the brown recluse spider. Spiders choose a wide variety of habitats, making them easy to find. The fisherman spider uses its front legs to make small ripples on the water s surface, attracting other water insects and small fish. Houses- even though this guest is more than likely unwanted, the house spider makes its home here. Then of course there are the spiders that never leave their webs.
Spiders don t always make permanent homes.
Webs are constantly destroyed and rebuilt. One type of orb weaver spins it s web in the evening and eats it before morning, only to repeat the process the next night. There are also spiders that never make webs. The wolf spider is a roaming hunter, though on occasion it may dig a burrow. Male spiders seek out a female when they are ready to mate.
