common house spider (Red house spider )

Nesticodes rufipes commonly called red house spider because of its red colour .It is of family theridiidae and it is the only member of this family . Its a beautiful spider and commonly found in houses 
                                                               Red house spider

This is small spider with red or orange legs .It is found every where , around house ,gardens ..It makes web.

Venomous ?
 It is venomous but not harmful to human .Its venom is for its prey.

Behaviour ~

It lives in its web but when it feels danger or something unknown comes near it .,it rolldown the web and turn in its leg and behave like a dead body .
Interesting point is that when i put a pen near it ,it stay a dead body for very long time and it never went again to its web while there were its offspring.

Breeding ~

Different spiders have different breeding season .
Talking about this spider so .I have seen this spider with egg in month of november and the egg hatched within a month and the offspring are now spread over the web
But the spider which i am observing left its web .
                     The spider with its egg


                    With its prey
With its offspring 

Thankyou !
