Barn Funnel Weaver Web
Charlotte’s Web, a children’s book by E.B. White, is probably well-known to you. It’s that spider from the story. Like the one in the story, this spider makes webs that look like they’re made by artists. They’re meant to catch minor bugs. So, how dangerous is the barn funnel weaver spider to people? It’s not at all. Weavers of barn funnels don’t bite people.
