We had a harvestman with only six legs. I’m not sure if it was due to an accident, a genetic mishap or expensive and unnecessary cosmetic surgery to fit in with the insects. It struggled a bit, but it did well enough, as it was around for the whole summer.
The four young ladies appear to have been snipped from some ‘60s or maybe late ’50s yearbook, or yearbooks if we are to believe that No. Four is from some “other” part of the country….I trust that the spider has not pooped on Teresa(’s signature)!
They were called simply daddy longlegs where I grew up. I didn’t realize until much later that they were a type of tick, and not very safe to be around.
Daddy longlegs. – Pholcidae, commonly known as cellar spiders, are a spider family in the suborder Araneomorphae. The family contains about 1500 species divided into about 80 genera. Some species, especially Pholcus phalangioides, are commonly called daddy long-legs spider, granddaddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, or vibrating spider. Confusion often arises because the name “daddy long-legs” is also applied to two distantly related arthropod groups: the harvestmen (which are arachnids but not spiders), and crane flies (which are insects).
That’s what they want you to think. They are actually data acquisition drones deployed by the secret government. They hear all. They see all. They are everywhere all at once.Resistance is futile because they are never direct. You need impedance to keep the current low.
Like this centipedence, for instance.Like the harvestman, it keeps the population of crummy insects down and is entirely harmless.(Except for being a robotic spy for the Secret Government, of course.)

The idea that they are the most poisonous spiders on earth, but can’t hurt people because they have no fangs, is an old urban legend.
