Are daddy long legs related to scorpions?
It depends on exactly what species you are identifying as "daddy long legs". The name daddy long legs can refer to several species or differing classifications. These are:* Harvestman - This species is not a true spider although it is classed as Arachnida, as it has eight legs. It is commonly called either "daddy long legs" or "grand daddy long legs" in the USA and is found worldwide, with over 6,400 species. There is a myth about these creatures being the most venomous of spiders, but its jaws are too small to bite, however this is a complete fallacy, as none of these species have venom glands or fangs. They are completely harmless and are not poisonous. * Crane fly - These are typically known as daddy long legs in the UK. They are a long legged flying insect that can be found all over the world. There are over 14,000 identified species. * Cellar Spider - This is the only true spider known by the name "daddy long legs". In fact all members of the family Pholcidae are group with this name. They are found commonly all over the world and again are easily recognised by their long legs. Again the myth says they are the most venomous spider in the world, but this is again untrue for the same reason as above.
Do any daddy long legs live in a house?
"Daddy long legs" is unfortunately a very vague term. There are many different species referred to by that name. At least one such, the cellar spider, often does live in houses (often in the cellar, as you might expect from the name, but they can sometimes be found in any seldom-used room). The urban legend about daddy-long-legs being the "most poisonous animal in the world" is, bluntly, untrue. Most species called by that name are not venomous at all. The cellar spider is, but its venom has a very weak effect even on insects and while they are capable of biting humans (the same legend that says they're poisonous says their mouths are too small or their fangs are too short), their bite causes at most a momentary (duration of a second or so) mild burning sensation.
What are the symptoms of being bit by a daddy long legs?
There are two sorts of spider with the nickname "Daddy Long Legs", and one species of bug with the same name. The "Daddy Long Legs" spider of North America is actually an Opilone or Harvestman and is completely non-venomous. The "Daddy Long Legs" spider of Europe is poisonous and has been identified as a culprit in biting people. The symptoms range from a small red splotch on the skin to full scale necrosis of the bite area (turns black). The necrosis bite of the "daddy long legs" of Europe (pholcidae house spider) was not fully documented and pholcidae venom has not been tested for toxicity to mice or humans.
