Brave Tim

Tim was very enthusiastic when he spotted this spider.
I think he was very brave. 
The spider had a strange defensive behavior.  If they feel threatened, they begin to vibrate themselves and thus their network. This blurs their body against the background and makes them almost invisible (this doesn't work well against the light, unpatterned walls of houses).
This behavior gave them the name tremor spider (Pholcus phalangioides). Its common name of "daddy long-legs" should not be confused with a different arachnid group with the same common name, the harvestman (Opiliones) *Wikipedia
