I’ve noticed some cellar spiders around my house lately and don’t even have a cellar.
Just be careful to watch out for your grand children.

Hey, PZ, what kind of spider is this?

I can’t decide which is more astonishing; having limbs an order of magnitude longer than her body or those super spindly limbs being articulated in precise ways.
(How do we know she’s her BTW?)

One common giveaway in house spiders is sexual size dimorphism. Females are larger, and they have a larger abdomen for holding eggs, the male pedipalps are larger, etc.
