I have no clue what these are actually called. Growing up we called them Daddy Long Legs.

Some people call them Harvestmen. I call them Opiliones. They are arachnids, but in a different order than spiders, Opiliones. They differ in several ways. The most obvious is that they have all of their organs in one body segment. Spiders have two segments.
Very interesting. I never knew these weren’t actually spiders. TangledWeb, I always get excited when you comment on my photos because I know it means I’m about to learn something. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
