Badumna insignis
(Black House Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider has a funnel shaped web, but it was up high in the eaves of the house. I know there are other spiders with funnel webs that aren’t actually funnel web spiders, but I’m not sure on this one. Odd place to find a funnel web spider.
Is this a funnel web?
