Pholcus phalangioides
One of three structurally similar and distinctive species, Pholcus phalangioides is often found in dark places in houses (cupboards, dark corners of rooms or outhouses etc) where it makes a fairly large tangle web. This seems a fairly common spider, which we have recorded recently from houses at both Worksop and Market Warsop.
