Long-Bodied Cellar Spider (Pholcus phalangioides)
The long-bodied cellar spider is one of the most commonly encountered indoor spiders, recognized by its extremely long, slender legs and habit of vibrating rapidly in its web when disturbed. It thrives in dark, damp areas such as basements, cellars, and bathroom corners, where it builds loose, messy webs and feeds on a variety of insects and other spiders. It is entirely harmless to humans and can help control other pest insects. Reducing humidity and regular web removal with a vacuum are sufficient management in most cases.
