Pholcus Phalangioide

My new pet...the 'daddy-long-legs spider'Doesn't have a name yet...but here's why I'm keeping it:
It eats mostly other spiders! Yup!!!!
One of the spiders it eats is the much larger house-spider of the genus Tegenaris, the large hairy funnel-web spider that is one of the main causes of 'arachnophobia'...
And...it is fascinating to watch!
