It has eight legs, so isn't it a spider? I thought daddy long legs only had six because they are insects, not spiders? Anyway, great detail on this.

Harvestmen, (Daddy Long Legs) have one body section (spiders have two), two eyes on a little bump (most spiders have eight), a segmented abdomen (unsegmented in spiders), no silk, no venom, a totally different respiratory system, and many other differences.

not a spider

but I will call it one
