Long-bodied cellar spider (daddy longlegs spider)

Common indoors in dark, quiet areas such as corners, basements, garages, ceilings, and behind furniture; also found in sheltered outdoor spaces.

Feeds on small insects, mites, and other spiders caught in its irregular, three-dimensional web. It may also attack prey much larger than itself.

Builds loose, tangled webs and vibrates rapidly when disturbed, making it difficult for predators to target. Females carry a small egg bundle in their jaws until hatching.

Harmless to people and not medically significant. Beneficial indoors because it consumes flies, mosquitoes, moths, and pest spiders.
