harvestmen
Long-legged spider relatives
Harvestmen are spider-like arachnids with small rounded bodies and extremely long, thin legs.
Unlike true spiders, they have no venom, produce no silk, and their body segments are fused into a single oval shape.
Also called daddy longlegs, though that name is applied to other creatures as well.
They're harmless scavengers found worldwide in gardens and fields.
