I take a close look at three common, and closely related, spiders you might find in your house: the Giant House Spider, the Hobo spider, and the Barn Funnel Weaver. These species are Eratigena atrica, Eratigena duellica, and Eratigena saeva (the Giant House Spiders), Eratigena agrestis (the Hobo spider), and Tegenaria domestica (the Barn Funnel Weaver).
This video is Part 1 of 2, and in Part 2 I'll look into behaviours in your house, biteyness, and other things.
