Bravely continuing searches anyway! I think I need to reword this, though. I'm learning more than I ever really wanted to know about spiders, and occasionally the entomologists researching them:

For a variety of reasons including Amnesty International and a humanitarian code of ethics, this research has never been done.
From here: Daddy Long Legs Myth which sounds as if the writer has had to answer questions about this a bit too often.
