The Eastern Parson Spider eating a fly these hide under rocks and other debris on the ground, sometimes roaming through short grass or along your foundation, or when you flip a board in your yard. They are very FAST!!! YES, you can find them also inside your home, want your kids to clean their rooms? Just share with them that the Parson spider often hides out under clothes left lying on the floor! My daughter never cleaned her room so fast! Gets its name from the striping down the back/abdomen much like a minister's necktie. If you want to catch one, be ready when you turn over flat rocks, loose boards or old tree bark. This adult is about 1/4" in length, they often lay flat and can go right under your bathroom door. Enjoy :) ! This spider was photographed in a petri dish, here is a link to the dishes I use: https://goo.gl/HongcU
