Today in a cliff/cave in central Texas, we saw what appeared to be a chunk of bear fur stuck to the ceiling of the cave, but much finer looking fur. It was an 18 inch diameter nest of daddy longlegs!! I wish I had taken a pic, because I'm finding none on the web that do it justice!

It was SOLID Brown, it must have been a million of them. (Or 250,000 times Legs!) At first we thought the knee joints (which are lighter in color) were bugs. We blew on it, and it started moving, which we thought was the smaller 'bugs' eating/disturbing them.

What a surprise when one of them crawled out and we could then see what they all were. It was awesome!

SO.... They seemed content to just hang out. It was a sweltering 101 and mid day. Not sure what they do when. Hope this helps those of you wondering!

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.
