ooooh, ok!

That actually clears some things up. When you said daddy longlegs I assumed you were talking about harvestmen - that's what I've always seen it used for.

These do kind of look like harvestmen, even though they're spiders, with those long spindly legs.

Yeah, Wikipedia lied to me when it said those spiders are also referred to as daddy longlegs. Boo. But we have a smimilar confusion between the daddy longlegs and the spiders in my country.

Maybe it's a regional thing - some places call them one thing but not the other, etc.

Where do you live, if you don't mind my asking?

Germany. Daddy longlegs are called "Weberknecht" here (lit. translation would be something like "weaver slave") but I was (incorrectly) taught by my mother as a child that a Weberknecht was a winged insect (a type of crane fly) that is also known as "Schneider" (lit. tailor). A friend of mine was sure that those thin spiders I confused with daddy longlegs in this thread are Weberknechte - but they are most commonly called "Zitterspinnen" (shiver(ing)/ spiders) or "Kellerspinnen" (cellar spiders). Then there are all kinds of names for the winged things, like Schnake, which is also used for mosquitoes. So yeah, there is a lot of confusion when it comes to those critters. (It's very much a regional thing here.)
