Hi! asked in Science & MathematicsZoology · 7 years ago

What type of spider is this?

Just curious. Including legs, it's about the size of a index finger. Sorry I can't get a better picture. Is it poisonous?

    It's a Daddy Long-legs. They're mouth parts are too small to bite us, so you can handle it safely. If you can catch it, put it back outside.

    Not a spider at all - as Nicholas says, it's a Harvestman aka Daddylonglegs aka Opiliones.
