Cellar spider


Species: Longbodied cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides
To the girls it is a "daddy long legs."  
Family: Pholcidae
Date: 6.21.15




Observation: 

Dana shot out of the garage to tell me there was a spider.  With only a little convincing she decided we should take a picture and add it to our freshly started list.

A fact from Dana:

There is no scientific evidence to support the often heard claim that the venom of the cellar spider is some of the most potent.
