There are three types of creature that carry the common name "Daddy long legs." This spider, the crane fly and also a type of harvestman.
Great shots George of this lovely little spider. Sadly the rumour that these are the most venomous spider in the world seems not to be true.
Ha ha! Don't worry they are harmless. The myth arose because they have been observed taking down things like Black Widows, so the theory was they must have a more powerful venom. The reason no people have been harmed by them, so the theory went, was that their fangs weren't long enough to penetrate human skin.Thanks for that Tim, appreciate your comments.
If you'd told me about the thing possibly being venomous before I'd taken the shots then they might not have been taken.
George.
