Cellar Spider
Pholcus phalangioides
36.9824, -76.6311
Field Notes
Description:
This is a thin bodied, thin legged brown spider. The body and legs are almost translucent. These spiders are covered with fine gray hairs. The head is a darker color around the eyes. There are eight eyes: two small eyes in front of the two triads of larger eyes.
Females are seven to eight millimeters in length and males are six millimeters.
Notes:
I have spent several hours trying to identify this spider. The closest that I can come is the cellar spider. This little guy was hanging out by the coffee pot at our office yesterday morning. Apparently it expired sometime during the overnight hours because after taking the pictures, prodding it with a pencil did nothing to encourage it to move.
