Cellar spider, Leptopholcus podophthalmus, Pholcidae

Female cellar spiders hold their egg sac in their mouth parts until they hatch - in these photos, the spiderlings are in the process of emerging. Also featuring a very tiny parasitoid Scelionine wasp visible in photos 1-4.

Okay so I gotta know.

From left to right we have A- The Crane Fly, B- The Cellar Spider, and C- The Harvestmen

Please feel free to add in the tags any other colloquial names you have for these guys, and where you’re from/grew up—saw a poll on here specifically about the crane fly but wanted to know if there was a big difference in what peoples image of a daddy long legs is.

I’m out of good photos again so behold the cellar spider (family Pholcidae) who lives above my door.

Her name is Lucretia and she catches a lot of bees and hover flies.

13th September 2023: Another gorgeous sky tonight, cellar spider, a beautiful Hedgehog out the front tonight and phone photos of the nice abundant purple flowers at Winchester Cathedral and plane tree and pretty purple roses I enjoyed seeing in Abbey Gardens.

Woodpigeon and Feral Pigeon at the cathedral, a Robin heard singing beautifully at Abbey Gardens, Long-tailed Tit, common mallow, ragwort and fleabane at Lakeside and ivy-leaved toadflax and hemp agrimony in Winchester were other highlights today.

Animals of the Photo Ark - Long-Bodied Cellar Spider (Pholcus phalangioides)

Family: Cellar Spider Family (Pholcidae) 

IUCN Conservation Status: Unassessed

Note - the individual pictured above is a female carrying her eggs.

Also known as the Daddy Long-Legs Spider, the Long-Bodied Cellar Spider naturally inhabits caves, but is commonly found in similarly warm, dark man-made environments such as basements, attics, garages and undisturbed corners of rooms. Found on every continent except Antarctica, these spiders build large, flat, loosely-structured webs that lie horizontally across surfaces, and are typically found hanging upside-down on or near their web. The diet of a Long-Bodied Cellar Spider consists largely of flying insects that become ensnared in their webs, but they are also known to feed prominently on other spiders by wandering onto their webs and envenoming the inhabitant - when food is scarce they have even been known to engage in cannibalism. When food is abundant, adult males will deposit gametes (sex cells) into small bundles of webbing and store them in their pedipalps (a pair of small appendages near his mouth. They will then enter the webs of females and attempt to insert their “sperm packages” into a reproductive orifice on the underside of the females abdomen known as the epig­y­num - if she is receptive to mating she will allow him to do so, but if she is not she is likely to attack and potential eat him. Shortly after mating a female Long-Bodied Cellar Spider will lay a cluster of pale yellow eggs which she bundles together using her webbing and carries in her chelicerae (a pair of articulated fangs at the front of her mouth) until they hatch. Although their long, slender legs may make them highly unsettling to those with arachnophobia, Long-Bodied Cellar Spiders are completely harmless (their chelicerae are not long or sharp enough to pierce human skin), and as they prominently feed on spiders they may actually aid in removing other more aggressive or more dangerous spiders from dwellings.

@maggie--pie submitted: hi!! I just wanna offer some appreciation for one of my favorite bugs: cellar spiders :]

The family pholicidae, also commonly known as "daddy long legs"; these lil guys are totally harmless, they eat small insects like flies + mosquitoes and generally sit quietly in a corner and mind their own business, which makes them perfect house guests 😌💞

they're very common and very cute and I love them so much <33 pictures taken by me, I'm pretty sure these are all marbled cellar spiders (Holocnemus pluchei)

They're some of my favorites as well :)

It's Vladimir, my friendly bathroom spider. He's been living in my bathroom for a while now, not sure how old he is but he's been here all summer. He's my friend.

It's your blog, though, so I leave it up to you...!

I accidentally killed my buddy Gerald who was living in my room and I am HEARTBROKEN

He's a cellar spider who grew an obsession with climbing on me and my bed and resting on me and I always hated it cause I was super worried I'd accidentally hurt or kill him aND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

HE CRAWLED ON THE BACK OF MY NECK I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS THERE SO I WENT TO SCRATCH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN ITCH AND I KILLED HIM ACCIDENTALLY TAKE ME TO SPIDER JAIL I PLEAD A LIFE SENTENCE

#help me I feel so guilty #he and Paulette (false widow) have been here for ages and I kept warning them to stay off the bed #I kept picking them up and putting them back on the wall in hopes they'd realise #Paulette stopped but Gerald didn't get it #at least he died immediately because it was his head I crushed but I am so so sad #tw spiders #tw animal death #cellar spider #spiders
