·Region: There are about 20 species of cellar spiders found throughout the United States and Canada.
·Habits: Cellar spiders and their webs are usually found in dark and damp places, such as cellars, basements and crawl spaces. They can also be found in the corners of garages, sheds, barns and warehouses, on eaves, windows and ceilings, and inside closets, sink cabinets and bath-traps. Cellar spiders seem to fare better in areas with higher relative humidity.
