You learn something new every day; what did you learn today?

Submit interesting and specific facts that you just found out (not broad information you looked up, TodayILearned is not /r/wikipedia).

Posting rules

  1. Submissions must be verifiable. Please link directly to a reliable source that supports the claim in your post title. Images alone do not count as valid references. Videos are fine so long as they come from reputable sources (e.g. BBC, discovery, etc).

  2. No personal opinions, anecdotes or subjective statements (e.g "TIL xyz is a great movie").

  3. No news or recent sources. News and any sources (blog, article, press release, video, etc.) more recent than two months are not allowed.

  4. Nothing politically related, historical or otherwise.

  5. No misleading claims. Posts that omit essential information, or present unrelated facts in a way that suggest a connection, will be removed.

  6. Rephrase your post title if the following are not met:

    1. Titles must begin with "TIL ..."
    2. Make them descriptive, concise and specific (e.g. not "TIL something interesting about bacon").
    3. Titles must be able to stand on their own without requiring readers to click on a link. Starting your title with a why/what/who/where/how modifier should be unnecessary.
    4. "TIL about ..." and other broad posts don't belong on TIL. Try /r/Wikipedia, etc. instead, or be more specific (and avoid the word "about").
    5. "TIL how to ..." posts belong on /r/HowTo.
  7. No trivial or obvious facts (e.g. "TIL the sky is blue"), or facts that appeal only to a narrow audience, specifically no software/website tips (e.g. "TIL you can click on widgets in WidgetMaker 1.22").

(Why we need rules and the TIL FAQ)

Additional info

If your post does not appear in the new queue and you think it meets the above rules, please contact the moderators (include a link to your reddit.com post, not your story).

Please report spam, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate posts by messaging the moderators), as this helps us remove them more quickly!

Etiquette

We ask that you please do the following:

  1. avoid mobile versions of websites (e.g. m.wikipedia.org)

  2. link to the appropriate heading when referencing an article (particularly on Wikipedia)

  3. link to the appropriate start time when referencing videos (e.g. on YouTube)

  4. add [PDF] or [NSFW] tags to your posts, as necessary.

Please also read the site-wide Reddiquette.

I HATE daddy long legs. The ones in our area give off a horrible smell when they're scared, and if I get a whiff of that scent it freaks me the fuck out (because it usually means there is one on me, gah!)

Lol, but no, the smell is pretty strong.

Plus, years ago I was lying in bed half asleep, and I drowsily brushed something away from my face. Then I got a whiff of that horrible smell and it hit me.... A SPIDER WAS ON MY FACE!

I had trouble sleeping after that.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nah, from Wikipedia:

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.

I found this out the hard way. A few years ago while reroofing a garage on a lake house and had a nest full of daddy long legs fall on head while I was on a ladder two stories in the air. I was pulling off the soffits and there was a nest full of thousands of these little guys which then happened to plummet directly into my face. While I knew they were not poisonous it still creeped me the hell out. The rest of the guys I work worked with gave me crap for the longest time because I screamed bloody murder when it happened.

I found this out too, but I was 11. Opened the trap door to my tree house and quickly climbed in, excited to be in my tree house for the first time after a long winter. Then I noticed that every surface in my treehouse was completely covered with daddy long legs (way more than in OP's picture), and so I just let my body go limp and fall out the trap door to the ground. My parents saw me fall and I told them I did it on purpose because of spiders, but my Dad thought I was being a pussy so he climbed up there and fell down the ladder too, but not on purpose.

According to Wikipedia, the order of arachnids called Opiliones frequently gather together in groups of "more than 70,000 in certain Eupnoi. This behavior is likely a strategy against climatic odds, but also against predators, combining the effect of scent secretions, and reducing the probability of each individual of being eaten."

I didn't have my camera with me (this isn't my picture), but needless to say, I saw one of these "nests" and it is truly unsettling.

Can confirm this from personal experience. While climbing through a deep narrow cave some distance underground, suddenly noticed some kind of strange "moss" on the walls of the cave. "Huh, I wonder how this moss survives with no light of any kind," I thought, and went to have a closer look, only to find the mass of moss.....moving. Then had to climb right through the spider-moss in order to proceed on my way through the cave. NOT fun.

I've woken up to the feeling of one lightly tap my eyelids and then walk over my mouth. I usually let all predatory insects and arachnids roam my house because they are useful, but the moment that one moved from my face to my pillow I threw the pillow on the floor and the nearest book on it. Then another book. And another.

Theyre also the most poisonous I believe , but their fangs are too small to bite most things or people.

They love to hang out in the cracks of rocks in the mountains here. You can often find these huge clumps if you look.

I didn't know this until sitting on a rock, angering the swarm, resulting in hundreds of them crawling over me while I sat there oblivious to them. It didn't help that I was on mushrooms.

It wasn't until my friend said my skin was crawling, looking down and seeing my arm brown in appearance all the way up to my elbow. I ran like a mad man for what felt like miles, swinging my arms wildly and screaming at the top of my lungs.

It was exactly at this time I developed a petrifying fear of spiders.

Thing is, the Daddy Long Legs are extremely harmless and would never bite you, infact its very difficult for them to even try to nib on human flesh.

I cannot for the life of me, understand the general reddit users fear of spiders.

[–]Adzmodean 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Having been bitten by a red-back, I can tell you it's extremely painful. But the instinctive fear and revulsion that I experience around spiders is something that occurs at a much deeper level than "if that bites me it will hurt". I can't explain it either.

[–]CatchACrab 1 point2 points ago

I remember seeing a long comic on reddit about why spiders are misunderstood and why humans naturally fear them. I think it had something to do with the fact that the structure of spiders' bodies is so far removed from ours. There was a technical term for it, but I forgot that too. Another theory is that our fear of spiders evolved to protect us from accidentally getting poisoned by the more dangerous ones.

For me, anyway, and apparently for much of reddit, the daddy long legs are especially creepy because of their tiny little bodies and abnormally long legs. It's like the slender man or a Tim Burton movie.

Daddy Long Legs are the most pointless creature in the world. Every damn September, my house ends up crawling in the bastards, and nothing you do will get rid of them until mid-November.

Incidentally, are the ones with wings also Daddy Long Legs, or are they a different species to the wingless ones?

[–]Confuzion 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In the UK/Ireland daddy long legs are the ones with wings, crane flys.

They are different species, actually different classes. The winged ones are insects, and the others are arachnids.

No, that's a mayfly, that's different. They are harmless and obnoxious. In Mississippi there are times of the year that the grass crawls with them. It is impossible to take a step with out killing a dozen of them.

When I was a teenager, me and my family went to camping in oklahoma. There are some caves in there, and while walking around my dad sat on a boulder in one of these caves to rest. a BALL OF FREAKIN DADDY LONG LEGS FELL ON HIS SHOULDER AND SPREAD OUT ACCROSS HIS BODY. I ran screaming like a little six year old girl.

Holy fucking shit, you have no clue how scared I was when I saw this picture at first. No, my heart beat literally increased for like 5 minutes. I thought this was a picture of a spider egg hatching and there were millions of little spiders surging out.

I was at the river, jumping across rocks. I saw a patch of moss to jump onto as the rock were hot. As soon as my foot hit it, all the moss seemed to scurry away... and I just realised I had just stepped on a carpet of spiders. It was the most confusing and frightening thing ever at the same time.

I was in a place they called Crystal Cave that should have been called My Nightmares. There was several clumps of these bad boys spaced around the cave in peaks and crooks. It looked like some sort of plant or fungus until I stood under them and got my face just a few feet away. I'm going to guess this cave about the size of a large living room had something like a million spiders in it. Not one single crystal.

My sister accidentally sat on/in one of these spider-piles once. Thank goodness we were right next to a river. She might have had to set herself on fire otherwise.
