In the UK we call them daddy long legs, I don’t know what they would be called in the US - though I think it might be horseflies(?). Anyway I was told at School that IF they could break human skin, they would be deadly to us - but they haven’t evolved that ability - yet. So I think they would be who I would befriend first - just in case.

The idea that daddy longlegs are highly venomous and just unable to pierce human skin is an urban myth and has no basis in reality. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/daddy-longlegs/
