Cellar spiders belong to the family Pholcidae and are recognized by their extremely long, delicate legs in comparison to their small bodies. Their bodies range from pale yellow to light brown and may appear almost translucent. These spiders are commonly found in dark and damp environments such as basements, cellars, and crawl spaces where they construct irregular, tangled webs that lack the typical organized structure of orb webs.
They are characterized by their fragile appearance due to their thin legs and small body. Their leg span can be significantly larger than their body size, which gives them a distinctive and somewhat fragile appearance. Unlike many spiders, cellar spiders do not build traditional, organized webs but instead create irregular, messy webs that they use to catch prey.
These spiders prefer dark, undisturbed areas where they can hang upside down from their webs. They are generally harmless to humans and are known for their habit of vibrating their webs when threatened, creating a quick blur of movement.
Cellar spiders are beneficial as they prey on other insects and pests, helping to control populations of unwanted bugs within their habitats.
By understanding their identification markers and implementing preventive measures, you can manage cellar spider populations in your living or working spaces.
