Hey now, I've known that for years. They're also some of the most poisonous species in the world, by poison to size. So if one was the size of a snake, it would be more poisonous. Also, they are not arachnids, they are insects!

Ticks are arachnids

Depends what you call a daddy longleg. What I call a daddy longleg are actually Harvestmen. They belong to the class Arachnida, but they are not spiders and they have NO VENOM.

There's also the Cellar spider that is often referred to as the daddy longleg which has venom. "An urban legend states that Pholcidae are the most venomous spiders in the world, but because their fangs are unable to penetrate human skin, they are harmless to humans. However, recent research has shown that pholcid venom has a relatively weak effect on insects.[3] In the MythBusters episode "Daddy Long-Legs" it was shown that the spider's fangs (0.25mm) could penetrate human skin (0.1mm) but that only a very mild burning feeling was felt for a few seconds."
