I read somewhere that they have the most potent venom of any spiders in
the world, but pose no danger to humans because their mouth parts are so
small they can't bite large mammals.

I like the photo a lot, it looks like some sort of minimalist painting..
and they dont look at all creepy.
I'm not bothered by spiders in the wild or in a garden.. and I've even
petted a tarantula.. but I confess
I kill any I find in my apartment as brown recluse spiders do live in
the city... but I'd be inclined to trap and
release a Daddy Long Legs if one appeared.

Wow, I've never seen anything like that!
So many spiders, and especially little ones!
Personally, I don't like this type of spiders. In my childhood we
didn't even considered them as spiders.
(In the US they are called "Daddy longlegs", and I saw a reference
but have never heard from anybody personally, "harvestmen/harvesters".
In this part of Germany, they're called weavers ("Weberknecht"). They
have to be spiders as I hate them just as passionately as all the rest
of them
