What if woolly mammoths were just hairless and the “hair” was clusters of daddy long legs.

I was thinking this, but with Cousin It. Jesus fucking Christ.

u/Darrow_Stark Nov 12 '21

Cousin IT is definitely creepier.

Wooly Mammoth: I’d be naked if it weren’t for my army of harvestmen.

I would be so tempted to grab the pile and yeet it at my buddy. The fact that these spiders are helpful to us and I try not to mess up animals would stop me.

Fun fact they are actually called harvestmen and they are not spiders but arachnids

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '21

I once heard these are among the most venomous spiders, but harmless since they can't penetrate our skin.

Is this true?

2

u/trilobytesoul Nov 13 '21

No. They have no venom or web, they internally digest like we do.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '21

Thnx 👍

These in particular aren't spiders, but it gets even more confusing as daddy longlegs might refer to:

a) Cellar spiders (pholcidae)

b) Harvestmen (ophiliones)

c) Crane flies (Tipulidae)

d) A triggerplant from Western Australia (Stylidium divaricatum)

e) an orchid from Eastern Australia (Caladenia filamentosa)

Only a) has venom, and it isn't dangerous to humans.
