Badumna longinquus also spend much of the dark hours engaged in web maintainance. These webs are not sticky and rely upon being able to tangle the feet of their prey.

Badumna longuinquus

(Above) Male

The Brown House Spider. These timid little spiders are often mistaken for their close relative the Black House Spider (Badumna Insignis). The main difference between them apart from the color is that the Brown House Spider is rarely found on eaves and window ledges like their relative. The bush, gardens and areas away from houses are more like their terrain. I have also noticed that Brown House Spiders seem to make smaller, less robust webs for the most part.
