Cellar Spider - Pholcus phalangioides - Male
Springfield, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
May 15, 2008
Size: BL: 9mm
Found in the corner of the ceiling in my bathroom. This is the largest cellar spider that I have seen and the size suprised me because it's a male. He hung out for about 4-5 days and then disappeared.
