Mass of Daddy Long Legs in a Tree

This cluster of daddy long legs (Opiliones) was found in a tree near a stream in Nogales Arizona. Answers to things people ask the most here: 1) The thing I use to make them fall is a straw I found on the ground nearby (I know, gross); 2) I think they behave like that for warmth (it was cold for Arizona) or protection (from creatures who don't have flamethrowers)

[Gianni Febbraro]

I'm going to have a mate watch this video, then dump a bucket of light dead grass roots and other tiny thin things onto him when they get knocked off the tree.

No need to call names, it's a common misunderstanding. The media generally calls Daddy Long Legs spiders and I thought the same until only a year ago when I found out that they weren't through an assignment :/

Are you retarded? Daddy long legs, which are really called harvestmen, are not spiders.

[Lili Thomas]

Oh wow. Daddy long legs are spiders hun c;
