Pholcus phalangioides, better known as the cellar #spider or a daddy longlegs (a nickname it shares with a couple other #arachnids), might look unsettling, but it’s actually not so bad to have one of these residing in your basement. They eat lots of #insect pests, and there is no evidence that they pose any threat to people. #PhotoOfTheDay #arachnophobia #science
