WHO'S YOUR DADDY (LONGLEGS) (this blog was prepared for use as a presentation at the Creation Appreciation nature center)

I found this drawing on the web (no pun intended)  On the left is a crane fly, in the middle is a cellar spider and on the right is a harvestman.  All of these are sometimes referred to as "Daddy Log Legs"


The harvestmen are not spiders, and not insects.  Harvestmen have only 2 eyes, most spiders have 8,  Harvestmen to not make webs or silk or any kind.

The proper name for harvestmen is Opiliones
