Notes
Commonly known as the Daddy Long-legs spider, or sometimes as the cellar spider, as that is where they are often found.

Spiders of the Pholcus family tend to live in warmer climates than ours, which is why this species is often found in houses. In recent years I have frequently found specimens living in compost bins and dustbins in my garden.
