Who doesn't love a daddy long legs? But which one do you really love? The cellar spiders that some people call "daddy long legs", or the larger cranefly that may well crash into your porch lights, or what I call "daddy long legs": the spider-like harvestmen common in shaded woods, gardens, or sometimes in your house.  These amazing arachnids are the subjects of an urban legend regarding venom toxicity.  In reality these familiar organisms are beneficial in your garden and should be granted the space and respect that fellow travelers deserve.
