Pholcus phalangioides
This is the real Daddy long legs and it's not to be confused with the harvestman spider! Pholcus phalangioides is considered a beneficial species for its use in pest control; it preys on mosquitoes and hobo spiders, for example.
It's a cosmopolitan species and is found in warm environments.
