Re: guess who

Yes, spot on Pholcus phalangiodes AKA Daddy long legs or Cellar spider.

According to folklore they are the most poisonous spiders in the world. Which is untrue, they proved on myhtbusters that they can bite, but there is only a mild burning feeling that lasts for a few seconds.
They also like to eat other spiders, and will take the much larger House spider and also Red backs in Australia?

Re: guess who

Thanks Bambi. Oh dear. I forgot I'd have to do one if I guessed it. Then I remembered something I thought of the other day.

Well, I hope this isn't too obscure.

Mine involves two creatures whose names are connected.

Here goes:

Front-to-back I live under the sea,
Back-to-front I fly high in a V.
