Does a daddy long legs spider bite?
Yes, it’s possible for a daddy long legs spider to bite, however their venom and amount delivered in a bite isn’t even a mild irritant to humans. The myth that their venom is more potent than a black widows’ is just that, a myth. They mandibles are small, but they can still pierce the thinner layers of the human skin. All in all, they’re quite harmless, unless your a gnat.
There are two kinds of “spiders” that are called daddy long legs. The ones without webs are also known as harvestman. They have never bit me and are not venomous. They have jaws like a scorpion and not like a normal spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvestman The other kind with the webs don’t normally bite. I saw one on one of Myth Busters on the discovery channel bite the red headed host named Adam Savage on the hand or arm. It didn’t even leave a mark and he had to harass it to make it bite.
