What do you know about daddy-long-leg spiders?
- Remember the story about Daddy-Long-legs being extremely venomous. For true daddy-long-legs, the opilionids, the myth is certainly false, and for the daddy-long-legs spiders it is certainly not based on known facts. I found a site that has all the facts UCR Spider Site.
- In fact, the Daddy Longlegs is not technically a spider, although it is an arachnid.
- They are among the most widely found spiders in any household.
- Most spiders mate by use of pedipalps but this one has a penis, which makes it different from spiders.
- Though they prefer to live in damp climates, they can survive in deserts as well.
- Commonly known as cellar spiders or harvestman.
