LONG-LEGS SPIDERS

Description:

This spiders are thin and fragile arachnids. The body is approximately 2–10 mm and the legs can be up to 50 mm long.

Habitat:

Pholcids hang inverted in their messy and irregular-shaped webs. These webs are constructed in dark and damp recesses such as caves, under rocks and loose bark, abandoned mammal burrows. In areas of human habitation pholcids construct webs in undisturbed areas in buildings such as attics and cellars

Notes:

FOOD: Certain species of these spiders invade webs of other spiders to eat the host, the eggs, or the prey.
