Harvestmen are not spiders but are arachnids for a few reasons. First they are decapods, meaning they have 10 legs not 8. Second they as opposed to what was believed for a while in that they had non medically significant venom they actually do not possess venom. Which the possession of venom is all but a defining trait in spiders. There is, (I believe) one species of spider that contains no venom. And of course that spider is an orb weaver. Thus having no need for venom as its web does all of the work for it. Not only are they decapods (not octopods) and do not contain venom neither do they possess the ability to create/ spin webs. Yet another defining trait of spiders and a commonality in arachnids. I could be mistaken on some things but I’m pretty sure I’m not. I love Latrodectus (black widows and their relatives) and this video really caught my attention. Thanks for posting and I hope my comment is informative :)

Did the spider survive? ❤
Daddy Longlegs aren't poisonous or venomous.
@StellarSterling01 thank you for the clarification
Yup, it's essentially defenseless.

Oh Juli! I ❤ spiders - especially BLACK WIDOWS!
That’s a black widow, redback hybrid. My pet black widow had babies a month ago and she also had redback hybrids these are pretty rare. Cool find.
Hybrid how?
Was that spider in your house?
Outside the entrance to the garage. Thankfully!
First pin me 📌
