The Daddy Longlegs Spider - Nature 141

We thought an insect which crawling at our house, but after looking it in detail, aww, it was an "Arachnids."  


Image 01 - Look like an insect

The different between Arachnids and insects in terms of legs, body segments and antennae. The Arachnids have: 
- eight legs
- two body segments
- no antennae 

The insects have:
six legs
- three body segments
- antennae

The common names of this Arachnid:
The Daddy longlegs spider
- Harvestmen

This Arachnid is harmless and can’t bite peope, because its mouth is too small. They are useful to control mites and insects.

  11. Cool post! 🕷️ I always thought Daddy Longlegs were insects too. Didn’t know they help control mites—pretty useful little guys! Kinda creepy, but knowing they’re harmless makes them less scary.

  15. Spiders whatever kind I am not afraid of. All of them are useful. I have a small one in living room in the corner and eats the mosquitoes that come in. They also catch clothing moths. And so does this beautiful vibrating spider in your picture. Leave it there I say if you ever have a spider. I have already dedicated an article on the nature website about what spiders do.

    Post come sempre interessante.
