I never knew they had hairy legs. I should have guessed as much, but I've never seen one in such detail. Stunning capture.

These are the only spiders i can convince my wife to let stay in the house. I've literally witnessed them snatch and kill huge house spiders.

Do you have footage of it grabbing / handling the house spider?

[@franciscobenetmolero]

esas arañas había muchísimas en el garaje y en la caseta de herramientas de la Torre de mi abuelo que se llamaba Amancio en Sant Boi , Barcelona , las matábamos o jugábamos con ellas, la otra araña es más peligrosa para otras arañas pero no para ser humano

Cellar spider NOT daddy long leg, dad long legs don't spin webs, possess venom, or regrow legs because they not spiders at all are and besides their legs they actually closer to mites than spiders

[@jacobesterson]

The meaning of "daddy long legs" is entirely dependant on where you live. It can refer to harventmen, which is what you're describing. The term is also used to refer to both cellar spiders and crane flies.

[@steve-us2hg]

Thats not a daddy long legs spider / harvestmen. Thats a cellar spider. Two completely different from each other. daddy long legs is not even a spider.

[@popscratchie3985]

I think it's what most people mean when they refer to a daddy long legs,due to its long legs. Most people aren't arachnologists

[@WhereTheyLay]

Harvestmen/crane flies and cellar spiders are all referred to as 'Daddy Long Legs', apparently

[@jacobesterson]

@@popscratchie3985 Daddy long legs is a slang term, not a taxological term. The slang can refer to several different species depending on where you live. Arachnologists would be left just as confused, this is a linguistical problem.
