Psilochorus simoni
In December I found a single Psilochorus simoni in my kitchen. This could have been an isolated incomer, but this morning I found two adult females. Clearly I have my own little colony (dollar signs, how much can I sell them for? ;-)
Two observations. First, the adult females are tiny compared with Pholcus phalangioides. Second, I seem to have seen fewer Pholcus around recently... This morning specimens were sharing a corner with a juvenile Steatoda grossa - I suspect this comparatively small species packs a punch and is well capable of looking after itself.
