    If it was a funnel-web spider, he’d have been in trouble

    Now, was it a harvestman or a cellar spider? Both are called “Daddy long legs”, but only one of them is actually a spider.
    (My house is riddled with cellar spiders. Apparently, they eat all the other spiders.)

    Yes, he might get bitten on the funnel by a finger-web spider (or something …).

    Did chubby Young Master actually somehow manage to bypass the arachnid (whichever variety it actually was) without harm to himself or to it? Bravo!

    I have crawled through so many nasty ceiling spaces and dark attics in my past work (with just a flashlight). Encounters with plenty of creatures that I’d rather not think of. (and then there were all the conversations that I overheard through those suspended ceilings). How can folks not know when there is someone crawling above them?

    I have funnel web spiders and they are harmless. I believe it is the Australian ones that are poisonous , fatally so. I could be wrong. Then I also think they funnel web spiders around Keremeos (in BC) are the poisonous ones. It has been z long time since I had to do the research on this. Why? Because I found the webs in my garden and needed to know.

    The venom of a daddy long legs is fatal but their fangs are too short to puncture our skin.

    I’m glad it’s morning because I’m an arachnophobe. I have a yard sale to take my attention.
