Daddy Long Legs Spider - Pholcus phalangioides

    Family - Pholcidae
    Genus - Pholcus
    Also known as Cellar or Skull Spiders.
    These Spiders hang upside down in their webs in rooms or cellars.
    I live in a basement flat, they live above my front door and under
    my bathroom sink.
    They shake very fast in their webs if disturbed, to deter predators.
    They may look fragile but they can take out large Tegenaria sp.
