Harvestmen, also known as daddy longlegs, defend themselves primarily through a few strategies. They can secrete chemicals from their bodies that produce a foul odor, deterring potential predators. Additionally, some species can drop limbs to escape threats, allowing them to flee while their lost appendage distracts the predator. Their cryptic coloration and ability to remain motionless also help them avoid detection.
