As far as the spiders go, I actually like daddy longlegs.They can't
Did ya know that for their size that they are one of the most poisonous spiders?
Admittedly, I've only heard of their bite being when accidentally stepped on or otherwise squished...my sister got bitten when she squished one during riflery and it resulted in some nasty looking blisters.
actually, they are not a spider, they are a beetle, and they are extreamly poisinous. its just that all but the largest cannot get their little fang things through are skin. and the poison kinda mellows out as they get bigger, because they have more of it.
but back to the beetle thing, yeah, those two longest protrusions out the front are antennea, notice how they brush the surface and are always waiving around. they arent used for actual support.
so if your arachnophobic rule out the daddy long legs, for they do not fall under the arachnid category.
