The term "grandmother long legs" likely refers to the arachnid known as the harvestman, which is commonly called "daddy longlegs." The misconception arises because people often confuse different species. In reality, harvestmen do not have a "grandmother" version; they exhibit variations in size and appearance but belong to the same species or family. Additionally, the term may stem from folklore rather than biological classification.
