Technically, "daddy long legs" is just colloquial term for a family of arachnids called Opiliones, which aren't actually spiders like a very similar family of insects called Pholcidae. Both familes are called "daddy long legs" because, well, they have humongously oversized legs compared to their tiny bodies. It's mostly just Americans; being silly. :)
@skittletube if you are going to try to kill the comedic value of this video by taking this guy literally ...atleast get your facts right. From his description of the organism in question this is most definitely Phalangium Opilio not Pholcus Phangioides. You see..when mother nature asked about its abdomen, thorax etc. the responses given to her described P. Opilio's fused cephalothorax and abdomen which gives it the appearance of having just a head. P. Phangioides is a spider. P. Opilio is not.
It was named Daddy Long Legs because it is easier to say than its real name which is Pholcus phalangioides. As for who gave it this name, it was an entomologist named Johann Kaspar Füssli. Just because you wanted to know.
@dudeyourtrolloled What? That just doesn't make any sense. "I don't like [insert race here]. It is like a furry ball with some sticks that come out. That is not a spider." Your attempt at being clever fell short of "pathetic". Sorry. :(
"And where was Mother Nature? On a coff-ing break?" Yup 'coughing' from the big hit she just took... The damn things don't even spin webs... Spider? I think NOT! Zaddy you are a funny man. Welcome to America! :)
whoa... i am imprisoned in germany (student) and i learned the language.. they have also a shitload of strange words... like "handschuhe" which is gloves but if you translate "hand" and "schuhe" it means shoes for hands.
His name is Flula
