Comments & ID Thoughts

I am guessing this is a Cellar Spidar aka Daddy Long Legs aka Pholcidae. It was very translucent so I used an LED light to get a better pic.

Oh really? I think I see a daddy on my ceiling so I will try to get a closer look when it decides to come down… I was wondering about that since the one on my ceiling I think has smaller body and but longer legs… and is on the ceiling compared to this one that was under the sink in the dark!

Common names can be confusing. The common name “Daddy Long-legs” is often used to refer to Cellar Spiders (Pholcidae), Harvestmen (Opiliones), and Crane Flies (Tipulidae)!
