About
Maine Spiders: There are a few common
spiders you can find in Maine and they are the
Wolf Spider, Fisher Spider, Jumping
Spider, and the common House
Spider.
The
Wolf Spiders
are robust and agile
hunters with good eyesight. They live mostly
solitary lives and hunt alone. Some are
opportunistic wanderer hunters, pouncing upon
prey as they find it or chasing it over short
distances. Others lie in wait for passing prey,
often from or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf
spiders will inject
venom
freely if continually provoked.
The
Fisher Spiders
also known as
fishing spiders or water spiders. They are
amphibious and are typically found in moist
areas, especially along the edges of streams and
lakes. They have the ability to skate across the
surface of the water and will even dive beneath
the surface to feed on small fish, tadpoles and
aquatic insects. The majority of their food,
however, is large terrestrial insects found on
vegetation at the water's edge.
The
Jumping Spiders
do not construct webs, but actively hunt prey
during the day, pouncing on their luckless
victims. These spiders are often found under
stones or debris.
The
Common House Spiders
can be seen
within homes. The presence of common house
spiders is typically characterized by the
formation of cobwebs. These silken thread
structures can be found throughout infested
homes. This abundance of empty webs is caused by
the common house spider's propensity to spin
webs in various locations until it finds the
most suitable place to catch prey. Webs are
designed as trapping mechanisms and are
funnel-shaped, with the narrow end acting as a
den for the arachnid. Any contact made with the
web produces vibrations throughout the strand,
signaling to the common house spider that prey
is present. Although common house spiders feed
primarily on insects, they may also consume
larger spiders, scorpions, rodents and small
reptiles.
