Pholcidae?

I bought a ficus tree a week ago or so and found this intriguing creature inhabiting it! There seems to be only one. It’s body is smaller than a grain of rice. The striated legs look like they could stretch to a length of two inches.

Very delicate and shy. It was much less willing to pose for the camera than the Salticidae I am used to. It is surrounded by many very fine, chaotic interlacing webs.

This appears to be a Pholcidae common name Cellar Spiders. The eye arrangement fits along with your description of the webbing. I’m sorry I can’t go further towards Species level. Oh I see you suspected Pholcidae yes I agree 100% this is a Pholcidae just not familiar with your local Pholcids.
