  • When predators attack, daddy longlegs deliberately release their limbs to escape. They can drop up to three and still get by just fine.

Get a new perspective on our place in the universe and meet extraordinary new friends. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.
    We all know it’s not nice to pull the legs off of bugs.
    Daddy longlegs don’t wait for that to happen. These arachnids, related to spiders, drop them deliberately. A gentle pinch is enough to trigger an internal system that discharges the leg. Whether it hurts is up for debate, but most scientists think not, given the automatic nature of the defense mechanism.
    It’s called autotomy, the voluntary release of a body part.
    Two of their appendages have evolved into feelers, which leaves the other six legs for locomotion. Daddy longlegs share this trait with insects, and have what scientists call the “alternate tripod gate,” where three legs touch the ground at any given point.
    That elegant stride is initially hard-hit by the loss of a leg. In the daddy longlegs’ case, the lost leg doesn’t grow back.
    But they persevere: A daddy longlegs that is one, two, or even three legs short can recover a surprising degree of mobility by learning to walk differently. And given time, the daddy longlegs can regain much of its initial mobility on fewer legs.
    Once these adaptations are better understood, they may have applications in the fields of robotics and prosthetic design.
    --- Are daddy longlegs a type of spider?
    No, though they are arachnids, as spiders are. Daddy longlegs are more closely related to scorpions.
    --- How can I tell a daddy longlegs from a spider?
    Daddy longlegs have one body segment (like a pea), while spiders have two (like a peanut). Also, you won’t find a daddy longlegs in a web, since they don’t make silk.
    --- Can a daddy longlegs bite can kill you?
    Daddy longlegs are not venomous. And despite what you’ve heard about their mouths being too small, they could bite you, but they prefer fruit.

      I don't think the statement was supposed to be something that relieved them of the burden, they just wanted to explain that they didn't just pull the leg off (which we could do with a lot of animals), but the daddy longlegs had a mechanism to forcably remove its own leg (which a lot less animals can do, making it more interesting)

      No. No it does not. Opiliones are a completely separate group from Araneae.
      They have a reduced connection between the front and back of the body, as opposed to the spiders' distinct head and abdomen. They do not have venom of any kind. They have only 2 eyes. They lack spinnerets, and their pedipalps are completely reworked. They also have a scent gland, unlike spiders, so they do not, in fact, smell like a spider. If you've ever upset one, you will know the smell I'm talking about.

    "Daddy long legs" is the common name for several small long legged species. Which name each individual is known by is dependent on where you're from. The Harvestman (which is the arachnid shown in this video), the cellar spider (which is an actual spider), and also apparently the crane fly and possibly mosquito's in some area's.
