>>290554 me again..
a few minutes on the web has given me the answer. to correct myself above. Harvestmen arent spiders but are arachnids. "Although they belong to the class of arachnids, harvestmen are not counted as spiders, which are of the order araneae rather than the order opiliones."
Same class, Different order. Not spiders.
but moving on. these>>290431called cellar spiders.
They are a tropical species and breed year round. In Australian homes, they are considered beneficial because they will kill and eat the venomous Redback spider. They can easily catch and eat other small spiders, mosquitoes, and other insects.
Straight from wiki.
And also. Some neat stuff about harvestmen
The feeding apparatus (stomotheca) differs from other arachnids in that ingestion is not restricted to liquid, but chunks of food can be taken in. Harvestmen have a pair of prosomatic defensive scent glands (ozopores) that secrete a peculiar smelling fluid when disturbed, confirmed in some species to contain noxious quinones. Harvestmen do not have silk glands and do not possess venom glands, posing absolutely no danger to humans
