Daddy Long-legs (Harvestman)

Commonly found in damp, cool, and dark places such as cellars, basements, caves, under rocks, logs, and leaf litter. They are also found in gardens and under eaves of houses.

They are omnivores and scavengers, feeding on small insects, decaying plant and animal matter, fungi, and sometimes other harvestmen.

Daddy long-legs do not spin webs for catching prey but may build simple web-like structures for resting or molting. They are often found in dark, damp places.

Daddy long-legs are harmless to humans; they are not venomous like true spiders and cannot bite. They play a beneficial role in the ecosystem as decomposers and predators of small garden pests.
