Harvestmen are eight-legged invertebrate animals belonging to the order Opiliones in the class Arachnida in the phylum Arthropoda. Over 6,400 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the real number of species may exceed 10,000.
Although they belong to the class of arachnids, harvestmen are not Spiders.
In some places, harvestmen are known by the name Daddy Longlegs or Grandaddy Longlegs, but this name is also used for two other unrelated arthropods: the crane fly and the celler spider.
