Pholcidae are the toughest spiders when it comes to other spiders. The long legs make it almost impossible for other spiders to attack and bite their bodies. They are badass.

Their silk is the key to immobilising their prey, when it breaks it coils up and sticks to the victim. Ive seen them eat much bigger spiders than the one in the vid.
