most people do mistake a Harvestman (the actual name or daddy long legs, we call them grand-daddy's here)for a spider b/c they resemble one. However the difference is in the body. See this link for all your info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones

It is normally a kind of spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae
I think what you're talking about is the Crane Fly. Which are also called that sometimes.

The Cellar Spider is my idea of a daddy long legs. We call the crane fly a 'skeeter eater'.
How long will a fly keep alive trapped in your refrigerator with plenty to eat and drink?

A fruit fly landed on my apricot mango yogurt, and I didn't realize it was there until after I put a spoonful in mouth. Perhaps I'll die?

You're reading What's a 'daddy-long-legs'? Me and my family used to call those freaky looking flying things 'daddy-long-legs'...if you left the window open on a summer night there would soon be one of those things dancing in the corner of the room.They're not spiders..?
