Brucie, the bit about "daddy longlegs are extremely poisonous but can't bite humans" is a myth. Many of the creatures that people call daddy longlegs (harvesters in the UK) are not even spiders. The truth is out there.

We had lots of jumping spiders on the Big Island, as well. When one of those guys is sitting on a countertop and you walk past him, he turns to follow you. (The fact that we had built our house in the middle of a macadamia nut orchard meant that we had many visitations from all kinds of critters: rats, mice, spiders, ants, geckoes, poisonous tree snails, bees, wild pigs...gives you a few second thoughts about "paradise," eh?)

Aloha,
