Pholcidae

Pholcidae is a family of small to medium-sized spiders commonly known as cellar spiders or daddy long-legs spiders. They are characterized by their long, delicate legs and the ability to vibrate rapidly when threatened, giving them a blurred appearance. Pholcidae spiders are commonly found in dark, secluded areas such as basements, closets, and caves, where they build messy webs to catch their prey. These spiders are known for their non-aggressive behavior towards humans and are considered beneficial for controlling insect populations in homes.
