A True Daddy long leg


A True Daddy long leg

Notice that there's only one body part. This is a true daddy long leg, not a spider. Though, the bite is poisonous, it hardly attacks people. It will, however, take over other spiders webs and kill the one that made it. There is a spider that people confuse for a daddy long leg, but it has a different name. The true daddy long leg is not a spider and only has one body part.

Really? we get crane flies too and they look nothing like it. YEah, thjey have long legs, but only 6. Their apart of the insect family. Daddy long legs are arachnids, though, not a spider.
