What do Ground Spiders look like?

Ground spiders are a diverse group found in various habitats, typically characterized by their robust build and swift movements. These spiders are often brown or grey, with some exhibiting stripes or patterns on their bodies. They do not use webs to catch prey; instead, they are active hunters, relying on their speed and agility to capture insects. Ground spiders often seek shelter in dark, undisturbed areas within a home, such as closets, basements, and beneath furniture.
