There is a species of spider called the 'Cellar Spider', which is known as 'Daddy Long Legs' to many, but there are two other species with the same name, one is an insect (Crane Fly) and one is the Harvestman (an arachnid, but not a spider).
Daddy long leg spider is the common name for "Pholcids" and do spin webs. Daddy long leg Spiders are Web-weaving spiders, meaning they hang up-side-down in messy, irregular, tangled webs. The webs have no adhesive qualities, but the irregular structure entangles any insects that come near. The spider will then move very quickly and envelope its prey in a silken case, finally delivering the fatal bite. If the spider is threatened by either prey that is to large or something touching the web, the spider vibrates the entire web in a gyrating motion. This allows the spider to become an invisible blur to any predator that might be planning making it a quick snack. This behavior has earned the daddy long legs a new name, "Vibrating Spider", although they are not the only species to exhibit this action.
When the daddy long legs is removed from its web, they are rather clumsy and will walk with an unsteady bobby action.
Not compared to some other spiders. The urban myth (that Phlocidae spiders have toxic venom but small fangs) has been disproved in at least one experiment. The daddy-long-legs CAN inflict a painful bite, but does not seem to be dangerous to most humans.
no because e all spiders have 8 legs but the daddy long legs has only 6 so it Can not be part of the archnic family plus all spiders have a two piece body while, daddy long legs has a 3 piece body just like all insects. so therefore daddy long legs isn't a spider.
