In case you were wondering, according to Wikipedia:
Pholcidae, commonly known as cellar spiders, are a spider family in the suborder Araneomorphae.
Some species, especially Pholcus phalangioides, are commonly called granddaddy long-legs spider, daddy long-legs spider, daddy long-legger, or vibrating spider. Confusion often arises because the name “daddy long-legs” is also applied to two distantly related arthropod groups: the harvestmen (which are arachnids but not spiders), and crane flies (which are insects).

It seems to have 8 legs. I guess it is a hybrid!

A spider is a spider. And the only good spider is a dead spider. Accept for Charlotte.

The spiders ARE the creepy crawlies that visit in the night. My crawlspace is full of “Pholcus phalangioides” and I find them in my bed almost weekly.
