Cellar Spider


There is a cellar spider in the bathroom. Wingnut and I are keeping it alive for photographs. It is growing bigger every week. Here are three photos from last week of it lying in wait, coming up on its prey, and eating.


This spider was identified by John and Jane Balaban at bugguide.net who wrote: "one of the cellar spiders in the Pholcidae, images in the guide here".
