This is another group of Arachnids that are NOT SPIDERS! The Harvestmen, often referred to as Daddy Longlegs, are in their own order (Opiliones). Here are their stats:
- 8 legs
- 1 Body section (spiders have 2)
- 2 eyes
- Mouth parts are gripping and tearing
- No venom, no silk gland
From the above information above, you can probably determine that the urban legend about them being the deadliest animal in the world is... um, false.
