The Daddy long leg is a spider which can be found in damp dark areas but they can also be found in warm dry places. They Daddy long leg is a spider that is harmless towards humans due to their very small fangs that are unable to penetrate a human’s skin. Their body is about 10 millimetres in length and they have 8 legs which can grow up to 50 millimetres depending on the size of their body. One peculiar thing about this type of spider is that it can have 6 or 8 eyes. A Daddy long leg makes a web that is messy and tangled and uses it as a home and to trap its prey. Trapping their prey is very simple, prey lands in web and can’t get out, Daddy long leg wraps the prey in a web and then makes its lethal bite to kill the prey then it eats right then and there or leaves it and eats it later.
