Daddy Long Legs | Cellar Spiders in Your Home

[@kpkndusa]

They are constantly decorating my house for haloween with their webs.

[@natureclearly]

Halloween all year round? :)

[@kpkndusa]

Yep! @@natureclearly

[@waitisthatcobalt]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@redtailarts101]

The rarely bite thing is an understatement... they refuse to bite you unless literally not given any choice to escape. They don't have time to lower their bodies to bite when it won't do much so they'd rather run away

[@natureclearly]

Good point! My spiders are so used to me that they don't even bother to gyrate anymore when I touch their web! :))

[@PhantoRoyce]

I have a family of them in a corner in my shed I do my weed smoking in and they take care of any flies that get in so I love them. One day I alley ooped a fly into the big web with a swatter and I feel like we bonded

[@SeasideBandit]

In the UK we call Crane Flies Daddy Long Legs.

[@natureclearly]

Do you use that name for cellar spiders as well?

[@SeasideBandit]

@@natureclearlyI've never heard of Cellar spiders here being referred to that name here. Since leaving my last residence and moving into a new one I had never seen Cellar spiders before, or I didn't notice them at least. In my last residence I saw plenty of House Spiders and Giant House Spiders. I was taught from a very early age not to fear them. However, spiders I don't recognise or I have searched up and look familiar to ones that you don't want to be bitten by, like false widows, I take outside.

[@Right_Said_Brett]

One of my cellar spiders caught and feasted upon another spider, 6 times the size of her! It was very impressive.

[@ybgglxcky2546]

Cellar spiders are the most friendly, u got to remember, they have the most potent venom but they cant bite us cuz their mouths are too small but they still can destroy even a black widow

[@Right_Said_Brett]

@@ybgglxcky2546 That's actually just a myth. The cellar spider's venom is quite weak. However, they are capable of trapping other insects and spiders in their webbing to an extremely impressive degree, coupled with the fact that their legs are longer than most spiders; both them a huge advantage in being able to take down insects larger and tougher than themselves.

[@figuregaming3872]

ever since i got my bathroom removed the cellar spider nation has just decided to declare war on my house

[@Corsair114]

Used to have a fly problem a long time ago at a place I lived. Was a side effect of dog poop. Never really had time to clean up super frequently so we'd get times where flies were terrible. So, we simply stopped cleaning up the spider webs. Pretty soon the cellar spider population expanded, and then we never had fly problems again. We have an accord. As long as they aren't setup in the trafficked portions of the room, they get left alone.

[@mattmingo7694]

I love them. I saved one in my shower this morning…picked her up and she was very grateful. I know because after scooping her up I put her on my towel rack to dry off, and finished showering. Then, I reached for the towel and SHE was there. Wow, I put my finger out and she touched my finger, smelled her leg, and claimed on. Lovely! Ticketed me as she ran around before I put my finger out, and she HIGH FIVED me with her leg again!😊

[@tj-nu7iu]

Same here. They love my bathroom. I have to constantly look out for them and relocate them so I don’t accidentally kill them. They’re so sweet and gentle. I love when they twirl like crazy.

[@Right_Said_Brett]

I have a few cellar spiders within my abode and I am usually quite happy to leave them be (I even name them). However, the other day I saw a cellar spider carrying an egg sac within its mouth. It was adorable but I simply couldn't allow 30 or so baba spiders to hatch within my home. I used a glass and a bit of cardboard to put the mama and her babas outside. I felt bad to be honest, but one has to draw the line in the sand at some point.

[@LadyCLR]

❤ Eggs are the place where I set boundaries too! Nope 😂

[@kg2005USMC]

These spiders are a mess. I don’t know how often they create a new web structure (mess), but they will cover your whole garage inside within a month.

[@SlaaneshChampionMako]

They set up their volume webs in areas referred to as "insect corridors", if they are covering your whole garage inside, you must have a lot of very small bugs flying around in there.

[@AKSBSU]

I found a brown recluse in my apartment a few years back and learned that cellar spiders are prolific hunters of pests, including brown recluses. Cellar spiders are now welcome to stay near front door and eat all the brown recluses they want. I've also made the connection that if I'm finding cellar spiders lingering around my apartment, I have enough unwelcome guests I didn't know about lingering that are keeping it fed. If there weren't enough bugs and spiders to eat there, it would have left. So again, it's free to stay here.

[@natureclearly]

That's fantastic to hear you actually purposefully used them as pest control! Are they going after the brown recluses? Have you ever seen them eating one?

[@billybuchanan1840]

Yes I have seen cellar spiders go round and around wich I guess its to make them look bigger or confuse the thing bothering it

[@AntiCSFC]

Gyration is 100 % to confuse predators. Few days earlier I witnessed a juvenile pholcus spider in my room start vibrating as a response to approaching jumping spider. It was quite funny to witness, the jumping spider was just staring at it confused and then left after a few minutes.

[@DolceBizLLC]

We have these in our home and they helpful! We go out of our way to ensure they survive. Great Video! I love your work, glad I found you on KZbin.

I agree! :)

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

Not all spiders are the same though. I'm not afraid of pholcidae even though I am arachnophobic. In fact I *want* pholcidae in my home because they hunt the house spiders who make me react so badly.

[@DangerManQ]

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

@@DangerManQ Ohh I expect you are more qualified than the specialist who diagnosed me then................ Perhaps you could explain why I couldn't put my hand on a colour picture of a spider, not even if someone offered me £1000 to do so . The very thought of it makes me feel sick. But as you say, I'm not arachnophobic 🤔

[@joshwaters7575]

I definitely have an irrational fear of spiders… but I have become friends with the cellar spiders in my home, and constantly have to save them from drowning in the shower… my kids like to poke them too and watch them spin. When we have company I have to remind them not to kill them because they are keeping the bugs and other spiders away.

[@justink2639]

Saw one of these guys this morning walk along my bathroom wall up to the corner and just kind of go about it business and i was sure to give to give it the ole "Top of the morning to ya!"

[@-_.._._--_.-.-_-_-_-...-.-]

"Good day, human!", said the cellar spider.

[@UnkyJosh420]

Haha. My wife and I live in our camper in the country and I know all my spiders and were their webs are inside so I don’t sweep them away. Flys come in sometimes but by the time morning comes around the flys are gone 🤷

[@justink2639]

@user-zq5fk4go6i I use to get the occasional ant or two every summer run across my counter this year, I haven't seen a single fly, mosquito, ant or other spider than the 3 that each have their own spots in my place they like to hangout by. I have one guy in my bathroom I have to keep an eye out for because he likes to try to web my sink so some morning's I have to relocate him back to his ceiling corner, he crawls right onto the eraser end of a pencil and is like okkkkkk as I put him back lol

They like to hide in the shower! I have a few of them hanging out in the shower as well. Unfortunately, that means many rescue missions to save them from drowning. 🤭

[@jcbarber]

We have them in our house, and they are very welcome here! They do a great job of pest control, often killing unwanted spiders. I've had the opportunity to watch a mother spider carry her egg sac, and hope to again soon... at the moment, I have a huge female being approached by an interested male.

[@natureclearly]

I'm happy to hear about yet another household that welcomes cellar spiders! 🤗 they can be incredible helpers. Did you get to see the hatched spider babies? It's an amazing sight!

We currently have a large female with an egg sac in our house. I was fascinated by her, as a few weeks ago she caught a house spider the same size as her, and ate it! My parents wanted to get rid of her and her egg sac but I convinced them to let her stay.

[@jasonsharp7619]

I have many living in my home and admire their pest control, and when I touch their leg and they Always go into that spiral dance which is visually special

[@RSpeller-ym6jj]

The cellar spider is one the best spiders you can have in your house. For example, it's during the summer and you have some annoying flies in your house. The #1 solution to rid your house of those annoying flying insects is this species of spider.

[@HằngNguyễn-j1v8y]

It has wings, right?

[@jonofarc443]

Cellar spiders are awesome, I've handled them quite a bit. I leave them and house centipedes alone whenever I see them in the house.

[@natureclearly]

House centipedes can be quite scary! I prefer having just the spiders in my house. 🤭

[@drysplash196]

Whenever I see one of these in my home, I just leave it alone cause I know it won’t go anywhere

I’ve found them very effective in keeping out the yellow sac spiders. Cellar spiders are a welcome guest in my home

[@Paul_Ward]

I've been watching a drawn-out battle between a determined cellar spider and a false widow in my kitchen. The false widow is holed up in a corner of the ceiling. The cellar spider has constructed his much larger web around the false widow and keeps trying to lure him out. They take occasional jabs at each other, then retreat a few inches and wait to see who will make the next move. Like a spider version of the enemy at the gates. Im definition rooting for the cellar spider

Just had one on my arm with a egg sack, it now outside. We have a spider infestation as we live near a canal and there is also a bunch of Crain flies. Can’t stand any of them. I don’t kill them but jeez, it takes a year for theses things to grow and I swear they seem to stay hidden till there old enough to just walk around your house like they own it.

[@byondlight]

I like you , you see the harmony of nature and the benifits. Though with my place they are everywhere and its not one but thousands multiplying.all over the yard .

[@lzrd00d5]

Learning about spiders (which I hate) is so much easier when a gorgeous lady explains how harmless they are🎉

[@Dino_lover211]

Every time I watch a dangerous bug video I feel bugs or see them near me

[@Dndnfbtbybtbtj]

Daddy longlegs, or harvestmen, are familiar Missouri animals. They are not spiders, but opilionids. Unlike spiders, they have a fused body form and lack silk and venom glands. In harvestmen, the body is a simple oval, and it's usually hard to tell where the “head” ends and the segmented “abdomen” begins.

[@jonofarc443]

Yep. I currently live in Missouri and see harvestmen a lot, just handled one today. I absolutely adore them and love how far back they go in the fossil record.

[@kg2005USMC]

There are two types of Cellar spiders; one with a round abdomen, and one with the elongated abdomen.

[@ezequieljurado2662]

I’ve seen them spin, bounce, dance, anything to confuse possible predators, I look at it and it’s just pure entertainment, so i feel that its definitely some sort of defense mechanism

[@stacyhunt4783]

It’s such a beautiful experiment. My husband and I have gotten to see two females with egg sacs, and we also had to protect these females from another daddy long legs. I came up looking to meet with her. I mean this mama was fighting with her babies in her mouth, but we brought him out here so she didn’t have to deal with that. And then I noticed that this guy was persistent so we brought him out here because we have several he was happy because he made it with my girl Charlotte. She sleeps above me every night and it’s so beautiful.

[@natureclearly]

Isn't it incredibly rewarding to watch them carefully and up close? I'm glad you're getting to observe females with egg sacs! Have they hatched yet? We regularly have females with egg sacs in our home and I enjoy the moment the little spiderlings hatch!

[@coffeemug254]

I witnessed one of these actually chasing down a giant house spider on its own web. Once it got a hold of the house spider they both fell down from my ceiling to the floor where the daddy long legs waited for the venom to kick in after it’s attack. Part of me wanted to save the house spider but it meant the other spider would go hungry after it’s efforts so I left them be. It really was awesome to see

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

It's amazing to watch isn't it? A much smaller cellar spider will do battle with a massive house spider and win.

[@phillmcaverty]

If I hadn't seen this myself I wouldn't have believed it

[@epicty3607]

I’m pretty sure I’ve witnessed one in the act of killing its mate before. Long time ago we had two of em that were in close proximity to each other in the corner of our den and one time they started attacking each other and He/she killed the other and literally began tying them up in the web. One of the only times I’ve ever witnessed such a thing.

[@sheldonsvalbe1325]

[@leesampson952]

Sometimes I get them in my house, cellar, spiders, daddy long legs

[@NoName-pf3mr]

I keep them around and look at them. I few months or weeks ago there was one with an egg sack. I've been following it every day. Seeing momma spider carrying was so cool. First they hatched. Bunch of babies in the web. They slowly strated to disappear. Few of the spiders slowly got bitter by eating their siblings I think. Now there are like 5 left.

[@Breadbored.]

I'm terrified of spiders, but I heat my house with a wood furnace so I've learned to love these little guys. I let them thrive and they keep to themselves, but more importantly they really do control the bugs that come into the house with the firewood. They even keep the other, scarier spiders away.

Gyration is done to mimic the actions of other spiders, which causes prey sensation within the web, resulting in the spider under the illusion that there is food nearby.

[@marilynholt2389]

I too have them in my home, one in almost every room. I have watched them catch and destroy other annoying tiny flies. I definitely do not bother them and enjoy checking on them every day. And yes I have seen once that strange shaking action when I put my hand too close. Thank you for the information. Ontario Canada

[@natureclearly]

It puts a smile on my face to know that not only you leave them unbothered but mainly that you enjoy observing them! :) We have so many in our home and it's fascinating to watch them over time, seeing them grow from little spiderlings, molting and becoming full-grown spiders.

They are the only spiders I allow to live in my house.

A few years ago I noticed a very industrious spider back there, and I decided to pitch the ant traps. I am now on "Spidey" number 4, who's been around for about 6 months. She's not afraid of me; I've bent over and said "hi" and waved my fingers at her and there's been times she appeared to be waving back to me

I’ve got them in the kitchen, they kill roaches there too… I found out they come in from the plumbing!

[@georgiesmith6449]

I have a gazillion in my current house. It’s an older home. To me they are the most prominent pest, in warmer months I am bombarded by them. And I am bothered because they leave piles behind and yucky webs. In my case I’d rather spend a day with a fly swatted handy to kill houseflies than see these guys everywhere. Maybe I wouldn’t mind so much if they weren’t so prolific and messy. But there it is. I have noticed the gyrations also, I always thought it was because I jiggled the web but I guess it does look self induced.

[@stacigatica314]

I live in Central Asia and when I moved from a city to the countryside last autumn, I was taken aback by the number of these spiders at my new home.

And now I feel much more relaxed around them, although still don't like waking up and seeing one above my bed - luckily, that happens seldom.

They are great for my indoor garden. They have settled into the entire parameter of the rooms floor to wall joint. None come into the center of the room always hanging out on their webs on the edge.

Seems like they follow the sent trails of other insects. I was once in the basement, and saw a celler spider come out of a crack in the ceiling boards. It lassoed a fly in mid flight with a web it threw. Rolled it up in a little ball, and took it's prize back hidden between the boards.

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

I have arachnophobia. Seriously. (I couldn't put my hand on a colour photo of a spider even if you offered me £500 to do so). But I'm *not* afraid of cellar spiders. In fact I leave their webs alone in my home unless they get too big and then I flick some away with a duster making sure I leave the resident spider alone. The reason I let them be and in fact *welcome* them? They *hunt* the huge house spiders which invade my home every autumn. If I see a house spider in my bedroom, I cannot turn off the light unless I've managed to trap it and put it outside. One hid in my dressing gown and I didn't know until I went downstairs to clean my teeth (old house with downstairs bathroom) and saw it out of the corner of my eye walking on my shoulder.😱 After I'd stopped throwing up and crying and gone back upstairs to put on my other dressing gown (I cannot wear the 1st one again until I have washed it) I inspected the sink and everywhere around it to make sure the spider had gone, in order to be able to clean my teeth. 2 days ago, there was a whopper of a house spider on the ceiling in the living room but it was at the opposite end to where I sit. This afternoon, I spotted it right above my PC, all trussed up like a neat little package, in the web of one of my 'guardians' , the cellar spider who lives up there. If you are afraid of the nasty, big, hairy legged spiders, let Pholcidae live with you and build their webs. They will keep you safe.

[@Sipex6484]

I love nasty, big, harry legged spiders, but I keep my pholcids around regardless.

Yeah I’m the same way. I’m a HUGE arachnophobe when it comes to literally any other spider on this planet but i can comfortably sleep in the same room with one these little fellas knowing they’ll remain in their web 90% of the time and never bother me or crawl all over my damn walls and ceiling. Any other spider however who sets one leg in my room is gonna be kissing the bottom of my steel toe working boot.

As a former arachnophobe, I used to be absolutely terrified of these guys and gals when I was younger, but as an adult, I tend to leave them be since they keep the local mosquito population in check and those are far more annoying than occasionally walking into a web that these little fellas will have spun between some of the planters and vine supports in my backyard we have as part of our vegetable garden.

I am from the Netherlands and I have these in my home. Besides that they make a mess of my cealing they are allowed in my house just like all the other non venom spiders. In fact they also keep the bugs and muskieto's out.

They are great with unwanted insects! I couldn't be more proud of our Pholcus when I saw him enjoying eating mosquitoes this summer as well!

I have a spider in my room. Been in the corner for a year now, idk if its male or female as i haven't checked. I just leave it be. I havent noticed other types of spider in my room, or insects, unless they're wrapped in its web.
