Long-bodied cellar spider
English
Pholcus phalangioides
These spiders, which often live indoors, are recognizable by their long, thin legs and their elongated, greyish-white bodies. The females’ legs are five or six times as long as their bodies, which measure about 9 mm. The males are slightly smaller.
They are also known as skull spiders, because their cephalothorax vaguely resembles a human skull.
