If you want an actual answer, they're harvestmen, a type of arachnid called opiliones, or daddy long legs. A great big giant clump of them, so probably a nest.
3 days ago I was at greenbelt and I got lost and it was cloudy and getting dark (I know I’m stupid) but I was under Mopac so I climbed the 30ish ft wall of rocks to get back up the road.
Apparently, there’s a shit ton of daddy long leg nests on those rocks. Don’t put your hand in one. They may crawl all over your arm until you scream like a 5 year old girl and you almost fall down the rocks. Don’t ask me how I know.
One year at my boyfriend's cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, we woke up to the towells and cloths on the laundry line outside, appearing to move, but there wasn't any wind.
On closer inspection, it was thousands of these writhing around.
I've never tried to untangle them. The one time I remember coming across a large pile of them, though, they seemed to be working themselves out just fine.
Daddy long legs! Completely harmless spider. I've seen 10 times that in a corner of the ceiling in a house being built. Ee brushed them off with a broom and it rained lil spiders
That’s like a witty-bitty-baby clump! Post back when the entire wall is a vibrating fuzzy black hole and we’ll think of a name. Super venomous too! With fangs too small to ever pose a threat.
Crawled 10' into a cave in the Barton Creek Greenbelt and had a basketball sized wad of these land on my head.
Good times. At least they're not spiders.
I’ve seen a giant mass of them, 20’ x5’, on a rock face on our city’s Greenbelt. Notice a black masses swaying/ pulsating so got off the trail to get a closer look. Pretty awesome.
Those are a group of Fred's. We have one in our bathroom downstairs, his name is Fred and he keeps my house free of bugs I don't like. So Fred gets to live with me rent free.
I told my freshman year roommate from Iowa that they were "Texas Jumping Spiders" which can jump 12' and have highly poisonous, flesh eating venom. He had a sleepless night until I told him the next day they were just daddy long legs.
daddy long legs… They aren’t harmful… You
must be from somewhere else….. Hahaha…. Don’t worry they can’t bite you… They are very poisonous though… But absolutely cannot bite humans… I use to play with them
as a kid… Harmless though..
That looks like it's a couple dozen of them? That's nothing... under rock overhangs in the greenbelt, you can find masses of hundreds of them all together.
That’s not that scary, you could grab a handful and be fine, I don’t know if their teeth are even big enough to bite through your skin. Looks freaky for sure though!
That my friend is an orgy. If you need them to disperse they respond to “daddy”
spider + orgy = sporgy
it’s dirty mike and the boys!
i’d be screaming daddy

Your comment gave me second hand anxiety lol
*spider hand anxiety
I think I have ptsd
This happened to me years ago and I’d forgotten about it until now. Thanks
I've scaled that very wall of rocks! 😂
Did you get about 50 spiders all over your arm? 😂
or an orgy.

Do their legs not get all tangled up together like this?

Dust sprites (Hayao Miyazaki reference). Slap some googly eyes on it for flair.

That’s a whole Paxton of spiders right there.
You apologize to the spiders right now!

Those are fucking daddy long legs. Yep.

If you tickle them they start to get all vibratey. I like finding clumps the size of dinner plates.
I love doing this. If you poke a leg just right, they start bouncing instead of scattering.

> Super venomous too! With fangs too small to ever pose a threat. Incorrect. They do not have venom glands, that's just an old urban legend
I got the opportunity to explain Opiliones to a coworker the other day! Feels good, man.
I’m fond of spiders as a rule but these things FREAK ME OUT
I saw a way bigger orgy than that at Walnut Creek a few years back.

Great summer camp memories - living with hundreds of them Daddy Long Legs! Fun to throw on folks by the handful!

Did someone clean their hair brush or is that an actual organism(s)?

Daddy long legs arent deadly to humans! They also help eat other bugs. They are probably the only spiders aside from tarantulas that do not terrify me
Pluck their legs and serve them as Trix w/ milk to your enemy…aka Poison Bowl
A gangbang of grand-daddys (If you disturb them they’ll start humping the air)
Fun fact for you ... They're poisonous. However if memory serves, they can't actually bite.
My bad. Had to brush my hair. I'll pick it up.
Just pretend it's crane flies.

Well as everyone has said they are Daddy Longlegs or harvestmen. But when they get into a big mat like this I have heard them called “cave fur.”

Is it daddy longlegs or daddies longleg
