Animal of the week: Daddy Long Legs (Harvestmen)
By reader request, here’s what I found out about Daddy Long-Legs. First of all, they are NOT really spiders. They are arachnids, which is a family that spiders are a part of, but they are not true spiders. Daddy Long-Legs, or “Harvestmen” (their real name) do not have venom or spin silk so they don’t have webs. They only have 2 eyes whereas spiders have 8. In fact, Daddy Long-Legs have pretty poor vision and use their legs like “seeing eye canes” to probe around.
They may look creepy, but they are actually very beneficial to home dwellers. They act like tiny ROOMBAS (you know…the automated robovacs). They eat everything from dead insects to dung, fungus, etc. They are called Harvestmen because you normally start to see them in late summer and fall; harvest time! If you can tolerate them, let them be. They ARE beneficial and they don’t bite. They are harmless.

The mission of the Associates of IAF is to support arts education, particularly the programs of Idyllwild Arts, and to provide cultural activities for the community of Idyllwild.
The Associates of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation are a non-profit group, California 501 © (3), whose volunteers support Arts Education, particularly the programs of Idyllwild Arts. The Associates host a number of events and fundraisers yearly. Examples include classical music concerts, jazz sessions, afternoon salons, bid-n-buy auctions, wine tastings, and even zip lining! The fundraisers vary from year to year and all are welcome.
The Associates meet monthly on the Idyllwild Arts campus; meetings begin at 10:00 AM the second Monday of each month and last for about 90 minutes. The monthly meetings are informative and educational with speakers from Idyllwild Arts as well as our community.
