Loc: lower upstate New York I saw a Daddy long legs (is this the common name around the English-speaking world?) trapped in a spider's web yesterday. I've never seen a spider caught in another spider's web before. Are Dlls spiders?

Loc: Vermont interesting link, dxb, but I think it posed more questions than it answered! I was going to mention Harvestman (men?), because I think that's what we more commonly see around here, (and on the Great Plains) but if there are 3500 species, who knows!_________________________

Loc: lower upstate New York Wow, dixbie! What an informative site! (just wish I had my old 3-D glasses). What we have here, then, are the harvestmen, the ones with the single ovoid body and no discernible head. That's what I saw caught in a smaller spider's web. I think I have seen the other kind, though, maybe in Brazil? I'll carry on with the researching.
