question and some pictures for you
Hello,
I discovered your site today trying to find information on what I now know is a whiptail scorpion I saw in Mexico. My question is regarding daddy long legs. I know what most people refer to as daddy long legs aren’t actually spiders. But I hear and read conflicting information that there is a true grand daddy long leg spider that is the most poisonous spider. Is there any truth to this? I love photography and here are some "bug" pictures I would like to share with you. I will have to search my files and see if I can find others. One more question. What is the bug on the flower?
Thanks!
Laura

Hi Laura,
Your Tailless Whipscorpion is so cuddly. The insect on the flower is an immature Katydid. We haven’t heard of the poisonous Daddy Long Legs you have referred to.
