The term daddy longlegs is ambiguous. In Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland it refers to craneflies which are harmless insects. In the United States and Canada it can also refer to a harmless arachnid harvestman (Opiliones, not a spider) and in Australia it usually refers to the cellar spider (Pholcidae). The latter does have a venomous bite but its effect on humans is minor.

The harvestman does not have any venom at all, let alone harmful toxins.

The Grand Daddy Long leg is actually more than likely a harvestman which is not even a spider actually. It is not poisonous at all despite extensive old wives tales to the contrary.

They are normally found around sinks and only the ones with hary and fat bodys can bite, but it is rare that you will find one that large.

Finding a Daddy Long Legs. This is good luck. While these spiders are the most poisonous in the world, they aren't able to penetrate our skin. If you kill a Daddy Long Legs spider then expect bad luck.


Why do grand-daddy long legs smell bad?

When you pick one up or if it feels threatened it'll let out a gas that is suppose to smell to make you leave it alone. A fart if you will.


Is a daddy long-leg an insect?

NO, Daddy-Long Legs can refer to two types of Arachnid (8-Legged). Arachnids and Insects (6-Legged) are two different classes of Arthropods (meaning "Jointed Leg"), other arthropods include the Decapods (10-Legged) which include crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Within the Arachnids, you have: Ticks, Scorpions, Mites, Harvestmen, and Spiders. One animal referred to as "Daddy Long-Legs" is the Harvestman, which is NOT a spider or an insect, but is a type of arachnid called an Opillione. They do NOT bite, and can, (unlike spiders, eat solid food. Harvestman Daddy-Long Legs are forest dwelling creatures which eat Detritus (decaying material) such as old leaves, old fruit, old mushrooms, and dead animal matter. They are wonderful, beneficial animals. The other animals referred to as "Daddy Long-Legs" are harmless spiders known as basement spiders, or Pholcids (Order: Araneae, Family: Pholcidae). These spiders are the thin gray spiders in the corners of basements and bathrooms who are often responsible for making cobwebs (probably the only thing considered negative that they can do). They are very cool to play with because their defense is to swirl around and make themselves look blurry so they are hard to see in their messy webs. If you see one, touch it, it will start shaking around and blend in visually with it's web. They catch a lot of bad bugs and are good to keep around if you don't mind the cobwebs. Contrary to popular belief, they do NOT have the strongest venom in the world, nor very strong venom at all, and are quite a shy and harmless kind of spider. Neither kind of "Daddy Long-Legs" will ever bite a person, and they are both beneficial animals in the Arachnid class. They are NOT insects.

Are daddy long-legs bad?

Yes, it's a horrible name, because it's unclear. There are several different species of animal (and at least one plant) referred to by that name. None of them are particularly dangerous in any sense of the word.

What do you do with bad kids?

Kids aren't "bad" -- but they sometimes do bad things. We all need to understand that "actions have consequences". That means that when kids do something good, they need praise and thanks. And when they do something bad, they need an appropriate penalty. That means the penalty should help them to learn about why what they did was wrong. For example, if the child doesn't clean up her toys and daddy has to do it, the penalty could be that daddy puts them somewhere that she can't get to them for a few days.
