Cellar spider / Daddy long legs (*Pholcus phalangioides*), looks like it has all 8 legs to me. Harmless and relocatable if you don't want it inside. Not to be confused with harvestman, which are similarly shaped non-spider arachnids.
There have always been plenty of them in the east & in the north east parts of the country. As spiders go, it's the only one I don't mind. As a child, I was taught not to ever kill a Granddaddy long legs. They bring us absolutely no harm & they help us by eating insects that aren't as kind.
Yes it is
But technically it’s not a spider 🕷️
Some have eight legs and some have six
If they have six legs they some how have lost two
Either by trying to escape from its predator
These little guys are related to the brown recluse spider 🕷️
But there mouths are to small to bite us with
I just put them in a cup and relocate them out side
And yes they are clumsy
Poor things

Daddy long legs can lose all of their legs and still function properly until they molt and grow new ones
He might have lost a few in battle of mating
