There is a nonsense rumour,dating back donkeys years and I heard it mentioned this year at Knockholt that

1)Daddy longlegs are very poisionous spiders but there fangs are to small to bite humans,Really.

2)If you eat them then you will become very ill."Thanks for that Doctor.

3)That they have a nasty sting? ,RUBBISH.

There are two variaties of DADDY LONG LEGS.
The 1st is The Daddy long legs Mk 1(Harvest man)Round body 8.legs no spinners no web. (Veggie)Lives in long grass under logs.

The Daddy long legs MK 2.
Commonly known has

The Short Legged Daddy long legs(True

This is a spider with all the above and eats other insects and is found in cellers. toxiologists say there is no evidence re there venom is harmful to humans.Neither species stings.
So its all nonsense old wifes tales. etc.

I came across one poor lass at Knockholt who having heard this codswallop asked me to stand out side the porta loo while she had a whatever.Like I had now,t better to do? I told her not to be so daft and get on with it.

There,s another rumour that the Knockholt Sheep are so hungry they eat the MK1 Species in abundance,These Sheep after a while start to grow legs out the side of there bodies? More Folk Tales?
