Best Answer

Daddy longlegs or Harvestmen do belong to the class arachnid but are not Spiders.

-Actually, the REAL Daddy Long-legs, the cellar spider, is a spider. The harvest-men is simply mistaken as the daddy long-legs due to their similar appearance. The difference can be told by the fast the harvest-men only have one body segment, and are almost never found inside a house.
