Daddy
longlegs, which belong to the Opiliones Order are creatures known for their
appearance. Despite their name they are not spiders. These fascinating
creatures have a body structure that sets them apart, from arachnids – a fused
body segment.
Daddy
longlegs have a body and four pairs of slender legs. Unlike spiders they don't
have venom glands or silk producing structures. Their diet consists mainly of
decaying matter, insects and plant materials as they play an important role in
ecosystems by aiding in the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient
recycling. Importantly daddy longlegs pose no threat, to humans as they lack
venom or fangs.
