Unknown spider

[The Snark]

In my language most spiders have names....
But try to name each spider in my cellar

Just stick with Pholcids. Very long legs and cobweb based. As for poisonous, meaning venomous - pholcids?? Seriously? Rate pholcids below rock bottom on the hazard scale. You are in much greater danger of being trampled by a stray albino elephant in your closet at midnight during a full moon.

Pholcid prey capture - for one, can be extremely aggravating to watch. Flying prey usually escapes. No sticky webbing. (Don't expect the pholcid webs all over the house to reduce a mosquito population). They utilize their long legs to wrap the prey in silk and once subdued a little they take little nips, often dozens of nips, as they continue to wrap the prey. Between the wrapping and the effect of the obviously mild venom and the minute amount of it being delivered the prey eventually gets subdued.

Thanks to Rod Crawford for pointing out the nipping. It's lightning fast and can be very hard to notice. You have to watch very closely.

So pholcids are very ineffictive hunters?
And unfortunately a danger for other spiders

Well, but i always let them hang near the window where i have my plants.
I see many dead flys

Windows cause dead flies - as they try to fly out into the daylight over and over, getting exhausted and eventually die. As far as pholcids go, some sub species are more capable than others and it depends on the prey. But on the whole, living with a few dozen of them for over 20 years and constantly surrounded by mosquito hordes, forget it,
On the other hand, they are a constant peril for jumping spiders. Rappelling down into a pholcid web is almost certain doom.
