      Yes, but thier mouths are not big enough to bite humans, so they are harmless to us.

        The 'Daddy-Long-Legs' spiders (family Pholcids) are said
        to have some pretty wicked venom, but their fangs are too
        short to able to bite through Human skin.  In 2004,
        'The Mythbusters' turned their attention to that myth.
        The host was apparently bitten by a Daddy Long-leg.
        Other than a brief, mild burning sensation at the bite-site,
        proving that, while the spider can bite through Human skin,
        the venom is practically harmless.  Also, recent research
        has shown that  Pholcid venom has a relatively weak effect  
        on insects as well.
