DaddyLonglegs

Daddy longlegs spiders can be intimidating because of the enormous length of the legs but they are harmless to people. They feed on other spiders and insects and are often found around exteriors of homes and porches. Daddy longlegs stay fairly inactive in the day and come out mostly at night to feed. Residual chemical sprays and dusts can be effective measures to keep numbers down in the spring and summer.
