Yes, this is one of the species called daddy long legs. Another common name for this one is “harvestman”. They are Arachnids but Opiolones, not spiders. Unlike spiders they don’t have to liquify the insect guts and drink them. Harvestmen can chew their food in chunks, that gives them more options for things that they can eat.
