daddy long-legs spiders

small body, spindly legs...

does everyone call them that, or was my family weird?

 

We jus call 'em Daddy Long Legs

 

daddy long legs in the uk like spiders with wings and very long legs that turn up in summer. I dont know if they are the same thing?

 

did they have mummy long legs?

 

spiders with wings??? holy mother crap

 

That's what I call them, but I've heard the called "Harvesters" too..
They have a very strong poison and they eat other insects, fortunately their mouths are configured wrong to bite people.

The spiders with wings things are mosquito hawks..... they eat lots of mozies
good insects both. Y'all got enough nasty ones down there, though....

 

Argh! I hate any spider, biteless of not *eeeeeeeee* *runs away screaming and jumps onto a chair with a large broom*

 

No worries, Harvesters aren't spiders anyway (count the legs). It's the funnel webs that worry me... crawl up in your sleeping bag, between them and the tiger snakes

Ever see a Golden Orb spider? the webs are golden, beauties!

 

Daddy Long Legs???? and to think all this time ive been calling them Dandy Long Legs, how ditzy lol

 

I heard that Daddy Long Legs have highly toxic venom but cannot bite through human skin.True?

 

they aren't spiders, but yes, that is true.

 

haha... we always called em Granddaddy Long Legs and we never killed em, cause we was always told they ate other bad bugs and that they couldn't/didn't hurt you. none ever crawled on me, at least...

 

My family always caled them Daddy Long Legs.... and when I was little my sister and I saw a bunch of them and called the Mummy Long Legs and Baby Long Legs

 

We have 'em here also. ALways called them daddy long legs as well. I used to pick them up when I was a little kid...Im lucky they arnt harmful to humans!

 

are you sure they/re not flying ants??? lol...

 

man, i hate spiders

 

spiders....brrrr....naaasty. apparently we eat at least 50 in our lifetime in our sleep. something like that.

*shudders*

yes and i call them daddy long legs. i always thought it was our family being odd..
