House of Spiders - Daddy-Long-Legs Spiders

Daddy-Long-legs spiders belong to the family Pholcidae. They have a short, round cephalothorax with the head region elevated on the sides. The thorax region has a deep, long central groove. 

These creatures have venomous glands. However, they do not bite or harm humans. Their fangs are too small to cut or bite the skin! Daddy- Long-Legs spiders are not very active & are usually found in residential areas, houses, buildings and even caves. They can often be seen in trees & under stones. 

Location : Taman Negara, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia - Northern Region
