The nickname “Daddy Long Legs” doesn’t just apply to one creature — it’s used around the world for three completely different ones. Opiliones — harvestmen (not spiders) Tipulidae — crane flies (not spiders, not dangerous) Pholcidae — cellar spiders (the only true spider in the mix) What you call “Daddy Long Legs” depends on where you grew up — biology says they’re not even in the same family. If you’ve argued about this before, turns out… everyone might’ve been right. #OrthoHomeDefense #OrthoInsights #WhoIsDaddyLongLegs #Entomology #ScienceTok #BugFacts
