Though they are sometimes called "daddy long-legs spiders," Opiliones are not true spiders -- but like spiders, ticks and scorpions, they are arachnids. Both these arachnids and the common spider Pholcidae (also sometimes called "daddy long-legs") are hounded by an unfortunate myth that claims they possess the most deadly venom of any spider known. This is completely untrue, especially in the case of Opiliones, which don't have venom glands at all. They are both about as dangerous as a ladybug.
