Two legged Pholcus phalangioides
After giving me the jump scare of my life and fueling my nightmares upon it's discovery last night, I recovered enough today after work to catch this guy. I will be keeping him in a makeshift enclosure with plenty of rough surfaces he can actually walk on and will try offering food.
I definitely have much more sympathy for him now that I realize what he his and how helpless he is on his own in an unfavorable environment. But yesterday when I first saw him, I didn't know what he was and I absolutely panicked. I was tired, couldn't see well, and thought he was some terrifying alien biped. :eek:

Now that he has surfaces that he can climb on, he's actually pretty mobile. Unfortunately I think he's a MM, but I'll do what I can to give him a good life for what he's got left
