The creatures most correctly called daddy-longlegs are in their own separate Order which is Opiliones. Common names for this Order are 1) daddy-longlegs, 2) harvestmen and 3) opilionids. They are characterized by having one basic body segment which shows segmentation on the posterior portion, at most 2 eyes and all 8 legs attach to the pill-like body segment. http://spiders.ucr.edu/daddylonglegs.html


What type of organism is the grand daddy long leg?

Daddy long legs or Harvestmen come from the class of Arachnida and the Order Opiliones. They are not actually spiders and that can be told by their round bodies that have no constriction or "waist line". They lack silk-spinning organs and their abdomens are segemented. They do, however have four pairs of walking legs and similar jaw and leg sensory structure. They also do not carry venom. The name daddy long legs can refer to several species or differing classifications. These are: * Harvestman - This species is not a true spider although it is classed as Arachnida, as it has eight legs. It is commonly called either "daddy long legs" or "grand daddy long legs" in the USA and is found worldwide, with over 6,400 species. There is a myth about these creatures being the most venomous of spiders, but its jaws are too small to bite, however this is a complete fallacy, as none of these species have venom glands or fangs. They are completely harmless and are not poisonous. * Crane fly - These are typically known as daddy long legs in the UK. They are a long legged flying insect that can be found all over the world. There are over 14,000 identified species. * Cellar Spider - This is the only true spider known by the name "daddy long legs". In fact all members of the family Pholcidae are group with this name. They are found commonly all over the world and again are easily recognised by their long legs. Again the myth says they are the most venomous spider in the world, but this is again untrue for the same reason as above.

Is a daddy long-leg an insect?

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.
