From the research I did, I found this article which I thought was pretty interesting which exlpains the myth. http://spiders.ucr.edu/daddylonglegs.htm...
I fell for it too. ...This site is so wonderful for learning, and correcting misinformation. Please keep me posted if you learn anything different. Thanks!
