Many people think all arachnids are spiders, but that's not true.

Scorpions are arachnids with pincers and a venomous stinger tail.

While spiders spin webs, scorpions like to hide under rocks and in dark places.

Harvestmen, often called "daddy longlegs," are another type of arachnid.

They have long legs but do not produce silk or venom like many spiders.

Though they look fragile, harvestmen are adept hunters and scavengers.

Ticks and mites are tiny arachnids that live in diverse environments.

Some ticks feed on blood and can transmit diseases, so it's important to check for them after outdoor activities.

Mites vary in diet, from plants to animals, showing the vast variety of arachnid life.
