The cellar spider: a quiet ally at home
Belonging to the Pholcidae family, this common house spider is harmless to humans. It plays an important role in controlling pests by preying on species such as recluse spiders, black widows, flies, and cockroaches.
Although its webs may sometimes seem unwelcome, the benefits of this arachnid are significant. It helps preserve the ecological balance indoors and naturally keeps unwanted insects under control.
