Daddy Long Legs
So, this is the 3rd summer I have been in my home, and I don't think I have ever seen a daddy long legs spider here... Until about 2 weeks ago. I started seeing one here and there. Well, last night, I killed 3 in my kitchen. Today, I killed 2 in my kitchen, 4 outside, and my husband said he killed 4 on his truck this morning before he left. Out of curiosity, is my new garden attracting them? Or is it just a coincidence that they are here shortly after I planted it?
Re: Daddy Long Legs
Are you talking about the harvestman or the cellar spider? The nickname refers to both.
Harvestman
Cellar spider
Either way, why are you killing them? Especially the ones outside. I'm hugely arachnophobic but I leave the outside spiders alone cause they're so, so beneficial to gardens, eating all sorts of nasty bugs that want to eat my plants. If they're inside my house, they're fair game for the vacuum, though.
