cellar spider

Pholcus phalangioides

Description:

I found it at my room and around my house's corner. I think everybody has seen it before. It is about 2-10 mm long for legs, some are 50 long! It eats insect and some tiny organism by using web for trapping (It's hard for their food to escape)

Habitat:

there are these spider around the world since it's not too cold. It usually stays in the dark and make web. but we can also see it at home or windows.

Notes:

I took this picture at my home, in my room on march 12, 2012.

I'd recommend to use the other common name for it: Skull Spider.
Daddy-longlegs is the more common name for the Harvestman - people might get confused.
