Pholcus phalangioides
Handsome spider found in the potting shed. http://bugguide.net/node/view/9610/bgima... According to Wikipedia, "Pholcus phalangioides has the habit of shaking its web violently when disturbed as a defence mechanism against predators." When I got too close, it went into a crazy whirl.
