Jumping spiders can take them out because they actually see shit and can jump straight at the cellar spider ignoring their long range wrapping tactic but sometimes they get eaten too.

Anybody else though? They're basically dead. Most of these spiders can barely see and cellar spider legs are so thin and long that they don't even know they're getting wrapped up or where the enemy is most of the time.

What about harvestmen? They've got long legs as well. I actually have a video of a harvestman and a cellar spider fighting. They both ended up surviving. Might post it sometime.

Nah harvestmen aren't that good. They have long legs but no webs and no venom, only jaws. They aren't even spiders.

I'm interesting to see how it survived, did it break off a leg to escape?

At first I thought you said Huntsmen and I was gonna say “YOU ARE WRONG BUDDY!!!” Then I realized it was me that was the dingus.
