73. Do they look like this?
Edited on Tue Sep-18-07 09:32 AM by Lasher


We call them grand daddy long legs. I have picked them up all my life and have never been bitten by one. Wiki says they're also known as harvestmen. They are not actually spiders because the two main body sections are nearly joined so that they appear to be one oval structure. They also have no venom or silk glands.
