Long Bodied Cellar Spider (7 images)

3 years 3 months ago #706811 by Paul Iddon
Latin name Pholcus phalangioides, this arachnid is sometimes called the 'Long-legged Cellar Spider' - it is relatively easy to identify due to the very long legs and cylindrical body.

I found it in the garden shed - and those long legs sure make it awkward for framing!

Yes, the long legs are somewhat more obvious!

… obvious too!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Thank you both!  :)

I love this macro lens - the quality is remarkable for the relative low cost - as long as you are OK with full manual shooting.
