About
North Dakota Spiders: Several dozen types of
spiders are common in North Dakota. Most of the
spiders in North Dakota are harmless.
There are a few common spiders you can see
throughout the state of North Dakota. They are
the
Funnel Weaver Spider,
Pirate Spider, Orb Weave Spider, Crab Spider,
and the Silver Long Jawed Spider
to name a few.
The Funnel
Weaver Spider
are normally brown or gray and live in tall
grasses. They build well-hidden webs in grasses
or shrubs. They are only rarely found indoors.
Their bite is harmless and not generally
painful.
The
Pirate Spider
are the most interesting
species of spider found commonly in the state.
They are cannibals, living only on other
spiders. They are normally darker yellow or
brown, and are occasionally mistaken for the
dangerous brown recluse spider. The pirate
spider spins no web, but uses trickery to eat
other spiders.
The
Orb Weave Spider
are generally
harmless. They are shy, non-aggressive and their
bite is without poison. Their webs are large and
are created in a circle. The common zigzag
markings in the center of the web are done by
most types of orb weavers. Most are black with
some yellow markings. They rarely bite.
The
Crab Spider
are found nearly everywhere. These spiders are
tiny, look vaguely like a crab, but get their
name because they walk sideways. It does not
build a web, but ambushes its prey. It can
change color to match its surroundings.
The Silver Long
Jawed Spider
spins a horizontal web
that only reaches about 20 centimeters in
diameter, often in sunlight, with a hole in the
center. It has a silver abdomen, which is
how species gets its name. It has very thin legs
and often lives near lakes or streams. It is
generally yellow or white. It is harmless.
