Daddy-longlegs eat a wide variety of food. This includes Spiders, insects, plant pests, dead insects, and bird droppings. In order to defend themselves, they produce a strong, distasteful odor.

Daddy long-legs spiders (Pholcidae) have a few predators. One of the most astonishing predators of the Pholcidae are the humans. Humans often kill them being scared, but cause no harm to us, and they mainly only benefit us killing bad insects and other spiders. Birds and lizards are some of the other predators of the Daddy long-legs spiders.

Judging from the results, 2 body segments, non-compound eyes, and 8 legs, it is the opinion of Scientific American that the Daddy Long legs is in fact a spider. Typically, insects have 3 body segments as seen in ants, bees, and housefly's as well as 6 legs, although some insects may have more or less. Spiders on the other hand typically have 8 legs, and do not have compound eyes, but rather 2-3 pairs of "simple eyes". Further research will be completed into this matter as soon as a microscope can be acquired. Until that time, Scientific AmeriKen will stand on the other data and proclaim the hypothesis to be proven true.

The Daddy Longlegs (more accurately known as the Harvestman) is a herbivorous insect.

It's not a spider, as it lacks some primary characteristics, such as multiple body segments.
