When I was 5 I woke up to a daddy long legs crawling on my face. I screamed so loud in the middle of the night.
I'd hate to wake up to that ughhhh...
So, in summary, we have three long-legged friends.
Father Long Legs - The Fly
Daddy Long Legs - The Harvestmen
Spider Long Legs - The Spider
I have a pet cellar spider, I named him Pops, he moved into my cupboard, I fed him once and he’s been there ever since, I feed him ants.
Pops!!!! From my fave tv show!
@@Dips755 yep, I named him after Pops from Regular Show, which is also one of my favourite shows.
Sadly Pops is gone now, I moved away and I had to set him free. I miss him.
@@custommediacreations awwww 🤗 Pops was the best!
@@Dips755 indeed he was.
Sweetheart if I saw your pet pops I would kill it for u.
Opiliones seem to make me feel uncomfortable, especially for they’re abnormally long legs, which started my Arachnophobia at the age of 5 when an Opiliones Daddy Long Legs hopped on my left arm. Still this is interesting
A daddy long leg climbed up on my leg flying a kite. Hate them now!

Animations on point in this one 👌😍
Your support is always appreciated, my good sir
I've only ever thought of daddy long legs as pholcidae. Being Australian (Victoria), the other two are probably much less common
That is very much similar to my experience. Cellar spiders were much more common in the very urbanised environment that I lived in, and for years the suggestion that anything other than pholcidae were daddy long legs would have surprised me.
Thank you for this great video, I come back for the calm narration and lovely animation. If you find the time, could you maybe do a video on afrotheria?
Thank you, I appreciate your support hugely. I'm currently working on the next video and it should have a distinctly afrotherian feel, so hopefully you will enjoy it!
I've always thought it meant only a harvestman.
This was quite interesting
Thanks!
Here before you blow you up!
Thanks for the support! Hoping to get a new video up by the end of February 👍
1:19 These types of spiders hang inverted in their messy, jumbled, and irregular webs.
various different species of animals and plants can share the same or very similar common names thats why common names can sometimes be unreliable
I was taught that a real daddy longlegs ia a crustacean related to crabs and lobsters and is not a spider at all
I'm not entirely sure of what creature that could be referencing, but depending on your preference for cladistic versus traditional taxonomy, one could argue that one of the daddy long legs (crane fly) could be considered a crustacean👍
@@TalesofDiscovery it's the harvestmen. It's more related to crustaceans I believe
Daddy longlegs ahh yes they dont need to mate. If they mate i have no words🤐
is a giant spider
Did u stop making videos
Sorry for the delay. More videos are definitely on their way soon. I'm currently working on the next one and aiming to get a more regular release schedule going.
Why do not make vids
I'm just working on getting one finished and will have it posted as soon as possible 👍
Can Yputubefix tthe glitch that this channel has so few views and subscribers
Thanks for the support, it's really appreciated!
This video had the potential to be way way better. THis is about a 5yr olds review. I learned nothing beyond the most rudimentary facts, story's & word-0-mouth intelligence brief. What do they eat ? What is their kill zone, their nemesis ? How do you eliminate them before getting overrun by them ?? Stuff kind-a like that.........started out so well and just circled around into the toilet for me. But thanks man
What about their bite ? What is their life cycle ? I cleaned my garage and within a week they had completed a FOB, several ! THey seem to have returned in force....all ages from big to babys have overrun my perimeter and are just freaking EVERYWHERE ahhhhhhhhhghhh-hughg-g-g-g-g-g/;^)
This is RUclips, not an encyclopedia.
@@shannonhenson609 well that is perspective I would guess he he hmmmmm? /;^)
I'm not a big fan of Lindsey Graham...but he is correct that Bernie's Marxist answer to everything is not the way to go.
"skeeter eater"
I think you mean mosquito eaters. Nobody says skeeter eaters. That's infantilizing
