NO, Daddy-Long Legs can refer to two types of Arachnid (8-Legged). Arachnids and Insects (6-Legged) are two different classes of Arthropods (meaning "Jointed Leg"), other arthropods include the Decapods (10-Legged) which include crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.
Within the Arachnids, you have: Ticks, Scorpions, Mites, Harvestmen, and Spiders.
One animal referred to as "Daddy Long-Legs" is the Harvestman, which is NOT a spider or an insect, but is a type of arachnid called an Opillione. They do NOT bite, and can, (unlike spiders, eat solid food. Harvestman Daddy-Long Legs are forest dwelling creatures which eat Detritus (decaying material) such as old leaves, old fruit, old mushrooms, and dead animal matter. They are wonderful, beneficial animals.
The other animals referred to as "Daddy Long-Legs" are harmless spiders known as basement spiders, or Pholcids (Order: Araneae, Family: Pholcidae). These spiders are the thin gray spiders in the corners of basements and bathrooms who are often responsible for making cobwebs (probably the only thing considered negative that they can do). They are very cool to play with because their defense is to swirl around and make themselves look blurry so they are hard to see in their messy webs. If you see one, touch it, it will start shaking around and blend in visually with it's web. They catch a lot of bad bugs and are good to keep around if you don't mind the cobwebs. Contrary to popular belief, they do NOT have the strongest venom in the world, nor very strong venom at all, and are quite a shy and harmless kind of spider.
Neither kind of "Daddy Long-Legs" will ever bite a person, and they are both beneficial animals in the Arachnid class. They are NOT insects.
