Who's your daddy?

Rebecca made a sign when we first move into our current house which said something unsavoury about smoking in teh house
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!

Funny looking things, they are!

Nice macros!

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.

the i wont link you to Paul Haese's huntsman... now thats a scarey pic!


I heard they have pretty potent venoms too. dangerous to bugs i guess.
thanks for the feedback peeps

Ahh Pauls Huntsman is really good, you can see the blood coming off the fangs..... Well not really but its a good pic.

Reminds me of that Alien movie with Sigourny Weaver

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

yes but ours are more deadlierer (yes thats a word ) than the poncey USA ones
