American grass spiders are often known as the spiders who enter our homes as the season begins to get cold. Sometimes they're mistaken for spiders who pack more of a punch when they bite a human because grass spiders construct webs in the same way these other spiders do, but grass spiders are considered harmless. They may also be known as funnel weaver spiders due to the shape of their webs. A grass spider can move fast and uses its lightning speed to catch prey that has fallen into its web. Scientific Name: Genus - Agelenopsis
