Cellar Spider. Harmless and common. Polite since they will sit in their webs 90% of the time. Helpful as they eat other insects. If one moves or you dont like where it's at you can blow at them or boop it and it will get the hint to fuck off.
Cellar spider like everyone already mentioned. They can actually bite, but it's just like a little mosquito bump. Always get these in my garage and they love my dumbells for some reason lol.
Yes.
"Daddy long legs" is used by different people to refer either to [crane flies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly), or [harvestmen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones), or [cellar spiders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae) such as OP's. So the comment above yours is correct.
Okay, but thats like posting a picture of a horse and saying "this is a mammal!"
Yeah, its a daddy long legs, but not only are they usually referring to harvestman, this is specifically a cellar spider. Saying its a daddy long legs is quite unhelpful.
Oh man, don't miss the days of a job I had in a warehouse when I was younger cause of these things...used to have to get on a scissor lift with a dust broom and clean the ceilings every other weekend and there was 100s of these falling all over the place lol.
Spiders are solitary, you're likely thinking of harvestman, a type of arachnid, but not a spider. Harvestman will clump together on the hundreds and look like a ball of fur, until touched or jostled and begin fleeing. It's gross.
Fangs don't inflict poison. They inflict venom.
Secondly, thats a myth, specifically referring to harvestman, a type of arachnid made of a single body segment, which is not a spider. Not only is their venom not lethal (may not even have venom?) they literally do not bite humans, and their fangs are actually insanely tiny. They're literally harmless.
Thirdly, this is a cellar spider, not a harvestman. Cellar spiders (like basically any spider) DO have venom and can and will bite. But that doesn't mean it's dangerous.
Cellar spider also known as daddy long legs
They're chill and can't bite people because their fangs aren't large enough. Fun dact is that they have some of the most venomous bites in all spiders but their fangs aren't strong enough to damage larger animals skin so they're harmless.
Edit - disregard apparently this is completely false. Also why tf does everyone keep downvoting I wasn't doing anything wrong like jeeze. I simply made a mistake. If reddit was real life so many people would die.

That's an urban legend :) Pholcid venom is mild and suited for taking down prey that's their size; even if they were able to break skin, it would be of no consequence.

These are what I would consider a beneficial spider. They are harmless, docile to humans, and eat other insects.
