It's legs are HUGE but the body is bigger and shaped differently than what I've always considered a Daddy Long leg. It's body was nearly the size of a nickel, while daddy long legs I've grown up with were goldish or brown and had smaller round bodies. Are their different kind of Daddy long legs or is this another spider??
Thanks for any detailed help!! I swear, these spiders here in NC are always sooooo huge!
This is indeed a harmless harvestman (aka 'daddy long-legs') in the order Opiliones. This is a large and varied group, and not all of them look alike - see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/harvestmen_opiliones for some examples...
Ah okay! Thanks so much!! As long as they stay outside I'll be okay! haha
