Cobweb Spider
Theridiidae, also known as the tangle-web spiders, cobweb spiders and comb-footed spiders, is a large family of araneomorph spiders first described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1833. This diverse, globally distributed family includes over 3,000 species in 124 genera, and is the most common arthropod found in human dwellings throughout the world. Theridiid spiders are both entelegyne, meaning that the females have a genital plate, and ecribellate, meaning that they spin sticky capture silk instead of woolly silk. They have a comb of serrated bristles (setae) on the tarsus of the fourth leg. The family includes some model organisms for research, including the medically important widow spiders. They are important to studies characterizing their venom and its clinical manifestation, but widow spiders are also used in research on spider silk and sexual biology, including sexual cannibalism. ''Anelosimus'' are also model organisms, used for the study of sociality, because it has evolv ...

Steatoda
The spider genus ''Steatoda'', in the family Theridiidae, includes about 120 recognized species, distributed around the world (including many cosmopolitan species which are found among human populations worldwide). One common name is cupboard spider, for many species build their webs in dark, sheltered, undisturbed places around the house or garden, in sheds and garages, under garden furniture, compost bins, and the like. Signs of the cupboard spider include small white spots of spider droppings, like small splashes of paint, on the floor underneath the web. Many spiders of the genus ''Steatoda'' are often mistaken for widow spiders (''Latrodectus''), and are known as false widows. They are closely related (in the family Theridiidae) but ''Steatoda'' are significantly less harmful to humans. Not all ''Steatoda'' species resemble black widows – they come in many different colors and sizes, mostly smaller than ''Latrodectus'' species. '' Steatoda paykulliana'' can grow larger than ...
