Thought I'd share this close-up view of a Pholcid (probably Pholcus phalangioides) that I fished out of a bucket of water. Don't have nightmares now

Great picture Gerel. I’m pretty sure I’ll sleep ok but if not I know who to blame.

So common names for these include cellar spider, cobweb spider, vibrating spider, daddy-long-legs spider, house spider and now skull spider. That's not at all confusing

That's why it's best to stick with the latin name

I can think of another name for Pholcus. Public Toilet Spider, Daddy Loo-Legs, Behind the Bookcase Spider to name a few . They're so common here in the south, especially where they're kept nice and warm inside with us.
