Interesting spider facts - Catherine - 08-22-2022
This article is about Harvestmen or what we call Daddy Long Legs. It seems they are not actually a spider. They are an Arachnid, but a different branch of the family. They are also harmless and quite beneficial.

They are also not the same creature I have living in my shower. My visitors produce webs. Daddy long legs do not.

I shall have to do a search of my garden for a Harvestman. Now I want to take a better look at them.
