The most poisonous spider in the world.. Nature photography challenge Day 5 of 7


Pholcus phalangioides or Daddy Long Legs spider isn't actually terribly poisonous at all, despite the rumours to the contrary.   A big one, like this has a body eight millimetres  long, although it's true her legs go on forever.

Here she sits guarding her brood in the top corner of our shower recess.

Nature in the home.
