Actually the spider shown is more than likely a true spider, (Pholcidae), also known as a cellar spider, or commonly Daddy Longlegs. It is often confused with a creature listed as being of the order (opilones), and it's common name is Harvestman. They are very similar physically but are two separate animals.
@Trophy92 There are three invertebrates called "Daddy Long Legs". The one with six legs and wings is a crane fly and as TenshiYudashi pointed out is a insect, Opiliones or Havestmen are arachnids (8 legs) with oval bodies, no venom, no webs, no fangs, they eat small bits of food and are usually scavengers or ambush hunters. The final creature is the cellar spider a true spider with web creating organs, fangs, venom, elongated body.
@TenshiYudashi Wrong. Cellar spiders and Harvestmen (whom both share common names[Daddy Long Legs]) are both classed as Arachnids. The difference being Cellar spiders are in the order Araneae(spider), while Harvestmen the order Opiliones, neither of which are classed as Insects.
Well, that really depends on what animal "daddy long legs" is referring to. If you are referring to the Crane fly (Tipulidae) then you are correct, it isn't a spider, it is an insect.
However, in my neck of the woods, the harvestman (Opiliones) is referred to as "daddy long legs," and while not a spider, it is at least an arachnid.
Then you have the cellar spider (Pholcidae) which is in fact an actual spider.
@TenshiYudashi Thats true, they are opilliones. However, there is a spiders called daddy long legs spider and people sometimes do not recognize the difference between a daddy longleg (opilliones) with the daddy longleg spider (pholcidae).
This particular daddylonglegs(refers to three different animals) IS the spider. And true daddy long legs are not insects, they are Opiline. You are the one who needs to do his research. =P
@screwme55 A cellar spider is the correct verssion of the daddy long legs spider....since out of the 3 things refered to as a daddy long legs, this is the only one thats an actuall spider.
ok i research on spiders ALOT the daddly long legs HAVE NO BLOODY VENOM AT ALL! how it kills it pray (usualy moths) is it captures it in its 8 legs then beats the moth to death like doing pushups then it eats it...its not deadly to humans dont even think that...w/e crackpot said they can kill a human LIED...just to calrify that
lol and if anyone does believe daddy long legs is the most venomous spider, watch the show mythbusters!!! They PROVED daddy long legs aren't as venemous as they seem to be.
The rumor that daddy long legs have the most potent venom yet can't bite is a COMPLETE MYTH. These spiders are capable of breaking through skin and are proven to not cause medically signifigant complications; harmless.
Well yeah but DLL are like almost everywhere in CA, when I see them in the room, I just capture them and put them in my garden for a good outdoor flies to eat, or just don't want it in my Room xD, the hugest one I had ever saw in my life is like 7 inches long o_O, 7 INCHES
i knew earlier, watched on youtube, but don't think of our poor DLL here, DLL only active,huge and strong in other countries, in here all spider was not so predatory

Daddy LongLegs 1: Cellar Spider (that one)
Daddy LongLegs 2: Harvestman (Looks like a spider, but doesn't make webs, and has both segments fused)
Daddy LongLegs 3: Crane Fly (those funny dancing insects you usually see in the garden)

@TenshiYudashi What scientist would rule any species out of its phylogeny? They wouldn't. I think you may be confusing some terms.
Arachnid[Class] is not synonymous with Spider[Order]. Also crabs and lobsters are not arachnids, and "arachnia" is not even a real term.
Example:
Harvestmen
Kingdom(animal)>Phylum(arthropod, sub. chelicerata)>Class(arachnid)>Order(opiliones)
Spider
Kingdom(animal)>Phylum(arthropod, sub. chelicerata)>Class(arachnid)>Order(araneae)

Meanwhile a lobster or crab's line would split off into a different sub-phylum, like this:
Crab
Kingdom(animal)>Phylum(arthropod, sub. CRUSTACEA)

Daddy long legs (Harvestmen) arent spiders, or insects, but belong in the same family as spiders (Arachnids) like scorpions and fleas

Calrifacation that wasent a DLL that was killed. That was a cellar spider (one that hunts mainly other spider) DLLs dont have a body like that.
