A funky Pholcid from Mexico. I had no idea that there were Cellar spiders with weird heads. Weird heads are one of my favourite features a spider can have. Modisimus sp.

Digital doodle of a cellar spider. It is wearing a striped red tie, which is just a stock photo pasted over it. There is some text above it that says ""Daddy"? The only daddy for me is the daddy long legs" with a text heart emoji. The background is light grey with a light brown square with a scribbly pattern in the middle.

Spiders of family Pholcidae have specific eye arrangement: clusters of three eyes on the sides, and two eyes in the middle.

Many species, including Carapoia lutea shown here, have really long slender legs. This has earned them the nickname “daddy long legs spiders”.

Pale brown-yellow spider with incredibly long, spindly legs, beady black eyes and a smooth, egg-shaped abdomen - with its jaws sunk into a bundle of silk, vaguely outlining a folded-up, dark house spider inside.

Same spider (and same spider prey) again, with more dramatic lighting and seen side-on.

Same scene, another angle!

Same spider, seen from above with rather stark lighting.

[Spider / spider predation (oh my!)]

It's spider central here right now - one of the friendly pholcids in a stairwell had acquired some ... larger prey. A big house spider? I watched it daintily eating for a while - wedging myself into the corner […]

Pholcus phalangioides. This spot on my ceiling is VERY popular. Last year we had a mom and spiderlings in the same spot. They dispersed
on their own within a few days. #spider #arachnids #pholcidae #marylandbiodiversity #nature #spiderroomate
