We collected a harvestmen from the backyard for observation. Harvestmen look very similar to daddy longleg spiders, but harvestmen are not classified as spiders. We also caught a fly to feed the harvestmen. Harvestmen do not have venom or silk glands, so the harvestmen intensely fought the fly physically and took his legs off.
For Halloween, we decorated our front porch with an orb-web made out of yarn and a stuffed garden spider.
