Psilochorus simoni (Berland, 1911)
|
Psilochorus simoni is a species of cellar spider in the family Pholcidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in the United States, and has been introduced into Europe, Turkey, and New Zealand.[5]
The species gained its name "Wine Cellar Spider" after typically being found in wine cellars. Today, this species happily thrives in garden centres and greenhouses - creating a tidy, dome shaped web.[6]
