This is dangerous science. What if they tamper with the functionality of viruses and one gets out of the lab?

Why won’t they leave nature alone?
Who pays for these idiotic experiments?
Why don’t they do something with cockroaches? (Weird name since they’re not all male...)

Shall we be soon hearing the libs crying that daddy long legs are going extinct and we should stop doing _____________ to save them?

Instead of calling this new breed “Daddy Long Legs Spiders”, they are now called “Robert Reich Spiders”.

Daddy Asian legs?

They made a mess but they sure did control the mosquitoes in the old house. I had an agreement with them. You eat the mosquitoes, and I won’t vacuum you up with the shop—vac.

Had to actually click to find out that this was done to Phalangium opilio, otherwise known as the harvestman. Not a true spider; it has no venom, although it is a predator.

Other species that are commonly called “daddy long-legs” are the cellar spider (a true spider) and the crane fly (a flying insect).

The common “daddy-longlegs” is not a spider. It does not have a segmented body.

Daddy long legs are about the only spider I recognize right off. So please keep their legs so I know it’s them and don’t smush them by accident.

I say we nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Oh and...”daddy” long legs is racist.
