Daddy long legs do bite. They are not harmful to humans, and contrary to popular belief are NOT the most venomous Spiders around. People believe that they can't bite people because of their uncate fangs, but the brown recluse (which IS harmful to humans) also has uncate fangs.
Also, the term daddy longs legs refers to three different types of bugs - one is the cellar spider, one is the harvestmen, which is an arachnid, but NOT a spider, and the other is the Crane fly.
The bite from a cellar spider produces a short lived burning sensation.
The myth about them being "the most venomous spider, but they can't bite humans" was debunked by MythBusters and Bill Nye the Science Guy
