Rebecca made a sign when we first move into our current house which said something unsavoury about smoking in teh house :rolleyes:
I moved the said sign in search for creapy crawlies to snap and found a daddy longlegs. didnt realise they looked so scarey close up! :eek:

Being an arachnophobe (at least for larger units of the arachnid family) I don't appreciate you doing that to me, David.

They also said to be very poisonous too, but they're fangs are too small to puncture human skin.

I heard they have pretty potent venoms too. dangerous to bugs i guess.

Reminds me of that Alien movie with Sigourny Weaver :scared:

As for the ultra venomous status of daddy long legs, that was disproved on the Myth Busters show, albeit with an American species.
