common house spider
Ceiling corner dweller
Common house spider refers to several spider species frequently found in human dwellings, particularly *Parasteatoda tepidariorum* in North America.
These small, brown spiders build messy cobwebs in corners, basements, and window frames.
They're harmless to humans and help control insects: There's a common house spider in the bathroom—just leave it alone.
