Baby Daddy Longlegs Spiders

Pholcus phalangioides

Notes:

There are about 20 of these TINY baby spiders in our kitchen at the moment. The sixth shot shows the parent, which is about 3cm across (legs included). Daddy longlegs spiders are introduced in Australia (I didn't know that until today) - they are common right across Australia and eat Redbacks and Huntsmen.
