Pholcid - Marbled Cellar Spider? - Holocnemus pluchei
Redwood City, San Mateo County, California, USA
July 5, 2008
Size: ~ 8 mm BL
I found this long-legged spider in an irregular, three-dimensional web on our porch behind a basket. Probably a pholcid - perhaps a marbled cellar spider (Holocnemus pluchei)?
