IshTube: Spiders in My Bathtub

Here is Mother Daddy-longlegs in my bathtub, this afternoon. Or should I say,  "Eency Weency Spider"? Is the little one her husband, or just a young female companion? 

I draw the line at allowing Redback spiders, indoors, as they are so very dangerous.

I am not an expert on spiders. Are these spiders Pholcus phalangioides? In any case, they are, as Ishmael says, part of the "Community of Life". Easier to tend a few spiders than have an aquarium to look after! (Spiders don't ask for much; and are only in the bathtub when it isn't in use--which is most of the time!)

We also have frogs in our toilet bowl. I have no idea how they get in there, but they most certainly come up through the pipes somehow. Perhaps a plumber could tell me how it's done? The possibility of a snake emerging from the toilet, in pursuit of frogs, is pretty frightening.  :/
