Daddy Longlegs

Father's Day is soon
A little lesson for you
Just what you wanted!

A Daddy Longleg
Should not be called a spider
And not an insect

It's a Harvestman
With only one body part
Spiders have two parts

It's a Harvestman
With eight very long long legs
Insects have just six

No matter what name
It's fun to play under one
And count all the legs


For more haiku fun

Go visit Jennifer now

Five, seven, then five

That was officially very awesome. I was getting all educated (haiku style no less!), and then I was rewarded with a cool picture. Nice!

Great haiku! And I learned something too. I've got the heebie jeebies now though. LOL!!

That's scary to this arachnophobe. Eeek. And, they are actually highly poisonous but have mouths too tiny to bite humans or at least that's what I was told.

The first day I met my husband he told me all those facts about Daddy Longlegs and the fact about how poisonous they are, but the little mouth thing!!! I had a bunch of them in my apartment and he was my neighbor giving me "spider" advice!

Great photo and Haiku!!
