I've caught her and i've waited for eclosion of the eggs,

One month later (poor resolution cause small spider was really small for my camera) : here,

Nice shot, there!
Isn't it sweet how pholcus stay with their young? At least until they boot them out of the house when they grow... :XD:
It's a great joy to watch them with their offspring, isn't it?:heart:

Great detail for such a small spider! :D Such long loooong legs! :XD:

Note: Technically, being an arachnid, spiders aren't bugs. Bugs are specifically insects of the Order Hemiptera (identified by their piercing proboscis type mouthparts).

Thanks a lot,

Don't worry, I agree with you for spiders and Insects classification. The reason of my mistake is just a lack of english vocabulary. For me, "bugs" are all the small and enoying little creatures (and not only insects.) but I may be wrong.

Nice shot... I like the framing :thumbsup: and the focus is excellent!

... but what's the happy event!?! For me, I think that it would involve popping the top on a brand new bottle of RaidTM ;)

This spider represents no danger for men, but it can kill tegenerias and black widows which both bite men. So I prefer keeping them alive. :)

Wow! You really know your bugs. I don't mind spiders... as long as they're outside. Then at least they're killing a few mosquitoes and noseeums ;)
And one other thing that I actually like about your photo... it shows spiders in a way that I (and probably others) don't usually think of them - acting parentally.
