About
Tennessee Spiders:
There are hundreds of species of spiders in the
state of Tennessee. While all spiders produce
venom, and some species are poisonous, most
spider bites are less harmful to humans than a
bee sting. There are a few common spiders you
can see through out Tennessee. They are the
Black Widow, Grass Spider, Southern Crevice
Spider, Brown Recluse Spider, Golden Silk
Spider, and the Daddy Long Leg
Spider to name a few.
The
Black Widow Spider
is one of the few poisonous species of spiders
that inhabit Tennessee. Black widow spiders
commonly live among humans without incident,
according to the Tennessee Poison Center.
The
Grass Spider
are common throughout Tennessee and much of the
United States, according to the Insect
Identification website. These spiders are not
harmful to humans. They spin a funnel-shaped web
in the grass or other low-lying foliage as a
means of trapping insects, which the grass
spider uses for food.
The
Southern Crevice
Spider
sometimes known as the southern house spider, is
common in Tennessee and throughout the American
South. They spin their webs in dark corners and
crevices indoors. They may also be found
outside, under logs, in trees and in other dark
places.
The
Brown Recluse Spider
is notorious for being one of only two poisonous
spiders commonly found in the state. These
medium-sized spiders are yellowish brown to dark
red brown in color and have a distinctive
violin-shaped marking on their thorax. The brown
recluse hibernates in the winter and prefers
dark, low-moisture settings.
The
Golden Silk Spider
are commonly referred to as banana spiders, are
common throughout temperate North America,
including the east Tennessee region. During the
late summer and through the fall, these spiders
spin large, golden webs in trees and low shrubs.
These webs often create obstacles for hikers and
mountain bikers.
The
Daddy Long Leg Spider
are often seen hanging inverted among their web,
which is a disorganized mess compared to the
intricacies that some spiders display in their
web work. Most commonly they will be found in
dark storage areas, drain pipes, and under rocks
and in the grass. They are not dangerous at all,
though they can be considered a pest when in the
home.
