The existence of a daddy longlegs implies the existence of a mommy longlegs and a baby longlegs
I always heard them called granddaddy long legs growing up

Long long maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
I always heard them called granddaddy long legs, which really cuts the sexual tension right out of it
Dont speak for everyone!
That’s not a spider. Count the legs.
Given the post’s title they could mean these which do have 8 legs (and are arachnids) but are not spiders, or these which are actually spiders.
For 6 legs, perhaps you are thinking of Crane flies?
Where I’m from, the term refers to spiders in the phlocidae family.
I’d give all animals kinky names if it were up to me
What are you doing back there step-spider?!
Um… maybe we should walk that name back, just a tad?
It’s not a spider though.
I think that depends on the location. I have seen 4 different species called granddaddy long legs in my life. None of them seem to have overlapping territory. At least 2 of them were definitely spiders. The little ball guy that exists in the Midwest I don’t think would qualify as a proper spider, but I’m not an entomologist
Title does say “harvest… guy”, so harvestman. Which are not spiders.
