c_swet	Actually they are one of the most (if not the most) poisonous spiders in the world. However it's not that they don't know how to bite, but the fact that their mouths are not big enough to bite people so humans are safe, feel free to pull the legs off of em at any time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

john b	Unfortunatley all spiders are poisonous, fortunatley the amount of venom they deliver through sometimes minute "fangs" is the factor, daddy long legs probably dont have the means to bite or poison a human, but whatever they eat is in for it...... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lillady	ueah actually they are poisonious but they're fangs just can't reach our blood stream when they bite us/ They are actually one of the most poisonious spiders out there. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Twitch	No they aren't poisonous (venomous). they did a bunch of experiments on this myth on the TV show "Mythbusters". Like most arachnids, they do have a little venom, but they tested it and found it to be extremely weak. they 'know' how to bite, but are a very non-agressive species. So they never bite, even when nasty kids are pulling their legs off... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vagas	They have the most deadliest poison but they have no teeth so they can't bite you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

injureddancer	They are very poisonious, but their fangs are too short to bite humans. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Specsy	Injureddancer, from the pictures in that link, those are not what we in the UK mean by daddy long legs. Craneflies are what we have - they have wings and float through the air making a buzzing noise and erratic movements. Loathsome creatures! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

daisymay	Yes they are poisonous, but their jaws arent strong enough to puncture the skin. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

diane w	Apparently if they could they would be severely toxic Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Leonized	Daddy long legs have and produce venom but have no teeth so cannot use it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SammyD	they are not poisoness Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Asherz	Yes, They are one of the most poisionous if not the most poisonous of all insects. This is because their poision is so concentrated. Their problem is that their mouth is not developed enough to actually pierce human flesh. This is the reason why they are not harmful to humas. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kds6493	actually YES they are poisonous...but bc the cannot bite(not bc they dont know how) they are harmless to us. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Robin A.	No, they are not poisonious. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rich Z	No they eat mosquitoes so they are helpful and harmless (definitely creepy looking though). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Steve H	They're poisonous to other spiders, which are their favorite food, but harmless to human beings because their fangs are too short to penetrate your skin. Be kind to them, they're cool and they keep the spiders that CAN hurt you in check. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
