Are Those Spiders???


If you don’t like daddy long legs then I don't think you should read this. Here is a fun fact . Did you know that daddy long legs are not even Spiders? They are truly a part of the arachnid family.


Appearance
Daddy long legs are a yellowish colour  with little black dots on their body.  They are known for their long legs.  One of their body parts is an upper circle shape. This is their back which is connected to the head.


       Breeding
Daddy long legs lay eggs. It takes Daddy long legs eggs about a year for them to hatch. Every time a female daddy long legs lays eggs it can lay over 200 eggs. Daddy long legs  stay with their eggs until the eggs hatch . Did you know when the eggs hatch the mother spider dies?!!! .


Habitat
Daddy long legs eat lots of insects and bugs. Daddy long legs eat caterpillars, flies, beetles, mites, small slugs and lots more.   When  predators are close they will climb to get away from the predator (another type of bug or spider that preys on daddy long legs).
Daddy long legs are creepy crawly insects  and they are a part  of our Frankley School bush environment.
