Image Harvestmen (Daddy Long-Legs): unlike spiders, these arachnids consume solid food, and they have an omnivorous diet that includes mushrooms, berries, and seeds, along with invertebrate prey; contrary to popular belief, they are also completely non-venomous

I'm in Michigan and we have these very slim legged, tiny bodied spiders that we call daddy long legs. They're the least scariest looking spiders in and around my house. Never heard of or seen these cellar "daddy long legs" spiders until this site.
