Description
Badumna belongs to a group often mistaken for dangerous venomous spiders; however, members of this genus are generally harmless to humans. These spiders are renowned for their robust web structures typically found in urban areas, which contribute significantly to controlling insect populations. Intriguingly, rather than relying solely on their webbing to catch prey, Badumna exhibits a more active hunting behavior at night, showcasing a fascinating adaptiveness in both urban and natural ecosystems.
