Chances are, someone has pulled or broken the missing legs off.
I guess it's not quite a daddy yet.
Yes, crane flies are often referred to as "daddy long legs" in some regions. However, they are not technically classified as true spiders that are commonly known as "daddy long legs."

Daddy long legs spider
Spiders usually have two body-parts while daddy long-legs have only one. Daddy long-legs have a teeny body with very long and thin legs, hence the name. Some spiders might have long legs and small body but you'll never find one as scrawny as the daddy long-legs. You can find daddy long-legs in groups sometimes while spiders are always alone. Spiders defend themselves by biting. Daddy long-legs spit acid and cannot bite, they're fangs are too small to penetrate skin.
There are a great many different species that fall under the category of invertebrate, some of which have long legs, some of which have short legs, and some of which have no legs.
well it kind of matters what spider it is. Some have furry legs like a tarantula but some have skin covered legs like a daddy long legger
The Box Jellyfish Some say that it is the daddy long legs.
some times in your building because they like to hide
The most common use of the expression daddy longlegs is for a crane fly which is an insect, with six legs. It has 6 legs and 2 antennae that look like legs so that is why everybody thinks that daddy long legs have 8 legs. Daddy longlegs is also used, in North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand for some types of spider and harvestman, both of which have eight legs. So this question does not have a simple answer.
Daddy-long-legs, or Harvestmen, eat live insects, mostly aphids. Some species feed on dead insects or plant juices.
Daddy long legs have poison, they gain mainly from white tails as that is there main prey, some people may say they have been bitten by daddy long legs but most of these are not true as there is another type of spider a little bit smaller but almost the exact same that is not poisonous. The only reason they are harmless to humans is because they have a very tiny mouth meaning they cannot bite a human being, even a baby.
Some people say that they can't bite you because they have long legs, and if they did bite you, you would die. But I have seen someone get bitten by Daddy Longlegs and survive to tell the tale. The answer is it can kill something it's own size, but if you mean humans... than no.
