Thank you, Daddy Deep Look.
The kid shouldn’t have held a gun on someone if no one was in danger, he didn’t have any other choice and also it’s real nice when you can kill someone without any legal repercussions and he’s definitely protected in his murder

Another useful way to distinguish them is that harvestmen's prosoma and opisthosoma (front & back body part) seem to be fused at first glance, giving them an oval body shape while in true spiders you can clearly see the separated front & back body part right away.
Next is that harvestmen don't make webs unlike spiders
Abdomen and carapax.
@@gabrielfarkas257 wait do all spiders make webs? Like I thought jumping spiders don't?
@@hypnopompicfool985 they actually do! But not in the way of many other spiders that use the web for catching prey, they mainly product their silk as a safety line when they get around and making a cozy resting place
Another one is that opiliones may leave specks of poop on your walls.
I let a baby one live in my bathroom one winter because it was too cold to put it outside. I named him Petey. Now I call them all Peteys.
Clean ur bathroom
Me and my siblings did something similar, just with a different type of spider. We would call them Phil, Bob, or Larry the spiders. Yeah we were pretty goofy kids.
Lol.
That escalated quickly
I named my girl that lived In the corner of my roof in my room Legos, she kept getting bigger over a few weeks and she eventually had a ton of little babies. I was so happy.

Cellar Daddies as I call them are the only spider that is allowed to live in my California home. They're really good at setting up camp in handy places and controlling the fungus knats from my houseplants and any rogue mosquito, fly, or moth that finds a way in. I like that they stay in place for the most part. If the eating is good, they're chill. Plus when you disturb their web they don't run and hide like most they start vibin and shakin to scare me away 😄 I find it very funny and worthy of respect. Fortunately, the circle of life continues as they don't usually last long enough to become a pest issue because my cat has discovered once a certain size they're a juicy snack. Yes, I live in an indoor jungle of my making 😂
I live on the east coast and cellar spiders have appeared in my house. My cat does the same thing as yours lol.
Spiders make my cat throw ip.
Wait wait wait so they become so large that your CAT hunts them? What in the Australia...
@@legendarypussydestroyer6943 firstly, your name 😂 how could I not pay respect to such a title.
Secondly, it's maybe more so once big enough to be noticed by said cat. I do not have monstrously large spiders 😂 this ain't Texas.
if you see any covered in torrubiella pulvinata, or balls of white fluffy fungus, be sure clear those out so they dont kill the whole population there.
also take pics, freak people out

It's kinda sad that this needed to be made, especially since a lot of this information was already conveyed in the original video.
Yeah, so sad...😒
Why is it "sad"
@@klarabarunovic9841 why?
@@eurydice. I was being sarcastic
@@eurydice. its sad cause it shows that not enough people paid attention to those details in the original video about harvestmen dropping their legs, and enough people made comments expressing anger/concern to justify an explanation short. In reality the original video also shows how harvestmen, or daddy longlegs, aren't spiders and can drop their legs without pain to escape danger.
what about mommy long legs
Its that Japanese urban legend lady who says po
I think those are only on Skull Island 😅
So you play Poppy Playtime or smh?
In the Southern states of the USA, I've always heard the Cellar spiders being called Daddy Longlegs and the Harvestmen being called Granddaddy Longlegs. That's also how the people I grew up with called them and what I called them when I was a kid. Now, as I've gotten older, I just call them Cellar spiders and Harvestmen. Although there are a lot of people that still have no idea that the Harvestmen are not spiders, and that information is more confusing to them than figuring out which Daddy Longleg you're talking about.
Here in chile we called it in spanish ''araña cangrejo'' or ''arañas hediondas''
Here is a video of it (in spanish btw)
ua-cam.com/video/XL-_GDbCn8g/v-deo.htmlsi=pwCpYHBX9AMeHPuO
Random things:
Cangrejo: crab
Araña: spider
Hediondas: smelly
So is called
"Crab spider" or "smelly spider"
YOU’RE TELLING ME COMMON NAMES CAUSE CONFUSION
Okay Linnaeus….
I was 56 years old when I learned that Daddy Long Legs are called Harvestmen. Shame on me! 😂
In Australia, the cellar spider is called daddy long legs.
Glad you said it, or I would have.
Another correct interpretation 😁
Daddy long legs refers to 3 different animals. Cellar spiders, opilliones, and crane flies.
And now there's this annoying myth that daddy long legs aren't spiders.
@@jeksewnoleeray1020 well cousins of spiders
Are we just going to ignore how that one daddy longlegs face planted?!
I grew up in Idaho we always called the harvestman the granddaddy long legs. And then for the cellar spider we just called them daddy long legs spiders.
You're preaching to the choir here! I grew up with Opiliones. They gathered in great fuzzy masses under our eaves. My mother was careful to show me the difference between them and spiders.
I've passed this information down to my own children, along with how to identify an insect spider.
We used to attempt to educate people as to the difference between Daddylonglegs and Cellar Spiders, to no avail. Most simply want to cling to their ignorance.
Wow so helpful 😊
Reminds me of that old Johnny quest episode with the big mechanical spider
I found that when you think of “daddy long legs” as ticks with abnormally long legs, you stop seeing them as spiders.
hey daddy~
It's a Pikmin enemy
I call both of them daddy long legs. I have to admit the harvestmen scared me more when I was a kid. When my parents lost their house when I was 5, we had to borrow a little camper from a family member and live on a campground. The campground's bathhouse's wall by the doors was so covered with harvestmen that they basically were the wall themselves. As a 5-6 year old I was terrified of going to the bathroom because I didn't want to walk past those "spiders" to get inside.
I mean they may lose legs to predators but now that poor arachnid has one less leg to lose to predators thus lowering it's survivability
“Daddy long legs lose legs to predators”
*shows tweezers*
Come on humans! You are not afraid of us arachnids, your fear comes from a sutile red spider who walks around when you sleep naively across 4D.
Daddy longlegs name is just creepy 💀
As a kid I always thought they were spiders and was afraid of them, until one day I caught them eating melted ice cream out of the garbage can. Once I googled it and found out they're technically omnivorous and they're not spiders I was fascinated and much less creeped out by them.
From Illinois, and I've called cellar spiders "daddy long legs" my whole life. I'd never even seen a harvestman that I could identify as one until I was in my 20's.
In Europe, daddy longlegs have wings and it is a fishing fly pattern.
People with Arachnophobia:And I Will Grow One Soon🙃
The other name of those is crane flies, but in some parts of the US they are called mosquito-eaters, skeeter-eaters, or mosquito hawks because of a mistaken belief that they eat mosquitoes.
As a kid I was always told to be careful not to kill them because they eat mosquitoes. Turns out adult crane flies don’t eat anything at all.
Not all of Europe. Where I live in Europe we call the second one the video shows by the name Daddy long legs.
@@Annie_Annie__ Yes in some parts of Europe Crane flies are called Daddy long legs, it gets confusing calling 3 different animals "Daddy long legs" especially when two of them look so similar to each other lol
thank u for this!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always heard em referred to as Grand Daddy Longlegs😮
I’ve heard both tbh, I think it depends on where you’re from
They aren't venomous but I did wake up to one trying to bite my leg once. I panicked, picked it up and threw it on the floor. Then it tried coming straight for me again!
EDIT: I mean Harvestmen
Harvestmen don't have fangs as they chew their food rather than sucking out the liquefied guts of their prey
@@wildsideofthings7733 it still went for a nibble!
maybe they were cleaning their legs on your leg.@@cleanerben9636
You were ripping it's legs off. I don't think they care that it wasn't a spider they just wanted you to stop ripping it's legs off to show how it hopps when you mutilate it.
Bullcrap. I got bit by one of these spiders and it left a huge red welp on my hand. I was told by my biology teacher mother that the spider I was holding was NOT a spider and it was harmless. It bit me. She never trusted her training on spiders again. Never again.
I have cellar spiders in my basement and there's about 5 of them in the same web, but there's this one spider where her abdomen is fatter than the others, the cellar spiders would occasionally fight, but would barely fight with the fat one, the fat one looks just like the cellar spiders but with a fatter abdomen. Is this common?
They adapt unbelievable well to limb loss, I dont recall exactly the video I saw but within a short period they get back to almost full mobility after single, double, triple and even quadruple leg loss.
the only spider that dies on purpose at my house is a brown recluse... even then if I find it far enough away they live too... want to keep bugs down hire a spider!
Ah, I see. Thanks for the info!
Apparently even crane flies are called "daddy longlegs" too
In the UK we agree with most of you about which animal is a Daddy Long Legs.
Grew up referring to that same creature by that name.
Thanks ranger billy
The harvestman is not a spider
The cellar spider is a spider
Both are daddy long legs
Which is why one is called daddy long legs spider
And the other daddy long legs harvestman
Or if you’re British you call crane flies Daddy Longlegs 😂
Anybody gonna talk about the way he said daddy long legs
We call them Harvestmen where I’m from, also don’t hurt an animal for scientific data. Harvestmen can’t grow those legs back like other arthropods.
Thank you for these spider facts now I know that daddy long legs are spiders.
Interesting fact about harvestmen. While they don't have venom or fangs, they do have a mild poison which is still not particularly toxic to humans. It does protect against ants and parisitoid wasps though
"the confusion comes from the common name💪👨"
"Daddy longlegs" 😩💅👩
Wake up boys, new Moist Lore dropped
"It's not a spider, it's an Opiliones"
Opiliones: 😢
In that last clip, just because they do lose legs sometimes doesn’t mean it’s still easy for them, we humans lose limbs , we still live most of the time but it’s not easy.
Actually it's very easy for a harvestmen to learn to walk with one or even several legs missing. Also humans are completely different so it makes no sense comparing them to a harvestmen. Humans have medicine, surgery and technology which allows us to survive losing limbs, without those medical practices we'd die in seconds or minutes. Even with planned or emergency amputations in capable hospitals, it's not that rare for people to die.
I always thought those giant looking mosquito-esque looking bugs were called daddy-long-legs
neat. still gonna call it a spider. still gonna nope out of there when i see one.
fun fact: in the midlands of england they call crane flies daddy longlegs, and those arachnids are just harvestman spiders. found it super weird coming from the south where its the opposite
I like ur hat and facts
North eastern here and we call them both daddy long legs, i did cuz thats what i was taught till i learned about what cellar spiders are
Harvestmen are so cute I love finding them running around in the forest floor 😊
So they're spider adjacent? Neat lol
In New Zealand we also have a spider we call Daddy longlegs
I wasn't aware other countries had different spiders they called that.
They’re my favorite insect, it’s so cute how they’re basically just a ball with legs. I was never creeped out by them as a kid and liked to pick them up and let them crawl on my arm. It’s also adorable how they cuddle together in giant groups in the winter to keep warm and the dad keeps watch over the eggs for the mom. They’re very social for insects and even the name daddy long legs or harvestmen are cute.
Mommy long legs and baby long legs in factory:☠️
No crane flies are daddy long-legs 😂
"Tomato isn't a vegetable. It's a fruit!" they say. My response: I don't care! Do you put tomatoes in a fruit salad? With the other fruits, like apples, grapes, cantaloupe? .... NO!!!! You put tomatoes in a garden salad, with the other ... you know... VEGETABLES!!! Therefore, in my mind, tomato is a vegetable!
I don't care about the official scientific categorization of bugs! If it has eight long legs and is creeping around my house, then it's a freaking spider!!!!!!!!
Yeah that daddylongleg is the worlds scariest thing in my opinion. The cellar spiders are way less scary for some reason ... Ever since I was a kid I have been severely scared of them..
In the UK, we call cellar spiders harvest spiders and these guys harvestmen or huntsmen, I can't remember. And daddy long legs are the name we give to crane flies (:
I'm not on the west coast and I call cellar spiders "daddy longlegs". Also, I found a freakishly huge one once. Legspan of about 9 inches (~23 cm). I couldn't find any material mentioning them getting anywhere near that size.
Daww it got eyes like a lung fish. Its freakishly cute.
Literally none of the comments had anything to do with him specifying the exact type of species.
This is like two people talking about a car accident like "Oh God, Becky just went to the hospital for crashing her Ford into a brick wall" and the other one goes "Actually I think you will find it was a concrete wall, not stacked segmented bricks, though the damage may be similar, they're different"
those chimes at the start of the video freaked me tf out
Venom or no venom I'm still DASHING IF IT COMES NEAR MEEEEEE
So my daddy long legs are still spiders, got it
they also don't make webs

Good old cellar dwellers. Make you break dance, instantly walking in to them, in the cellar.
Huh, and here I was under the assumption that they were all called "nopes"
Here in the uk we call crane flies, harvestman and cellar spiders “daddy long legs”
The Midwest also calls cellar spiders Daddy Longlegs, Minnesota does at least.
"it's not a spider"
me: *poor daddy*
Today I learned that the 'daddy longlegs' in my chicken coop are infact- SPIDERS. NOT GREAT CAUSE I'M SCARED OF SPIDERS.
I snip spiders in half with scissors
In the UK we call crane flies “Daddy Longlegs”
One of those one without fangs (the harvestmen) bit me one time. It hurt a little bit but not too too much. People don't believe me when I tell them that but I swear it bit me.
I am confused because I live in Maryland and we certainly have cellar spiders and we call them daddy long legs not the other thing you are talking about.
mommy long legs: ITS BEEN SO LONG....
Texan here , we have lots of daddy long legs here and back in the 60's we were taking a family vacation to grandma's house and needed to take a break from driving and pull into a highway rest stop . Parents say "bathroom break" so mom and sis and I head into the women's side of the restrooms . It's a cement block building with a couple of stalls and a couple of sinks and pretty dark ( I guess the lights aren't on until it's dark) . So I'm waiting for my mom to finish her business and I casually look up at the ceiling and notice it looks like it's pulsating . I realize about half of the ceiling is covered in daddy long legs so I innocently say "hey mom, did .. look up !" Both look and my mom says what the heck is that so I tell her and she literally explodes out of that stall with her pants around her ankles and she and my sis are out the door in less than a second screaming bloody heck and yelling for me to get outside NOW . I stumble out laughing hysterically and my dad is hurrying over wondering what all the commotion is about and why my mom is hurriedly pulling her slacks back up while outside . Mom and sis race for the car yelling "we need to leave NOW" So once we're all safely back in the car and I've stopped laughing I tell my dad what happened and he starts roaring with laughter . After that if we had to stop at any rest stop I would have to go in and make sure that restrooms were daddy long legs free . My dad and I laughed at that episode of family vacation happenings for years. 🤣🤣🤣
This is mind-blowing
We call both of them daddy longlegs here (western washington state), but we call the spider ones daddy long legs spiders, and the others daddy long legs. The non-spider ones also can create GIANT colonies in caves and such, then drop on intruders like a hunting net. Not dangerous, but your brain tells you otherwise as the tsunami os legs crashes down upon you.
All I can think of that video “HEY DADDY”
“eEW”
in my country we call the actual daddy long legs "lukki" and the cellar spider is "vaaksiaishämähäkki". the latter were first seen in my country in the year 2000 funnily enough and they only live indoors. no chance of mixing the two.
Here in Nz we call those lil guys Harvestman. Daddy long legs are what you would call Cellar Spiders.
But also in some parts of the country crane flies are also called daddy long legs, can be very confusing.
In Britain a "daddy long legs" is a winged insect that can be seen in September
They're also called harvestmen "spiders," which doesn't help with the confusion.
I've always known this my whole life. Daddy Longlegs are just random balls with legs 😂. Cellar Spiders my family has always called "Messy House Spiders" because they can always be found inside your house and inside of a absolute disorganized mess of webbing which just so happens to be real cobwebs. They make them as their nests. They truly are messy. For the record, I and my family are west coast born and raised, my dad from San Bernardino, my mom's family from Oregon, and subsequentially myself, too.
Messy House Spiders (Aka Cellar or Basement Spiders) also are some of the most absurdly fragile critters I've ever encountered in my life. You look at them and they practically explode into a billion pieces half the time!
These two look nothing alike if you ask me.
No, no, no, no ,no. We know the difference between a daddy long legs and a cellar spider on the west coast, thank you.
The confusion comes from parents lying to their kids, for fun. Almost everyone I grew up with had a parent or an adult tell them as a child "that's the most venomous spider in the world, good thing it can't bite you," while another adult in the room shook their head. Let's not solve lies with lies, thank you
Everyone's gangster until that one kid calls a mosquito eater a daddy long legs...
It’s eyes are essentially just there to give you a vague sensation this thing has a face
Always call Harvestman Daddy Long Legs.
