CJ: that venom/small teeth thing on Daddy Long Legs is an urban myth; I guarantee they Cannot bite you and have no venom. They are in animal Class Arachnid, eg spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, et al, but in the Order opilionids, which is a category they have all to themselves. Also called "wheelmen" colloquially.
