The family contains more than 2,000 individual species of pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and angel spider.
I think that depends on the location. I have seen 4 different species called granddaddy long legs in my life. None of them seem to have overlapping territory. At least 2 of them were definitely spiders. The little ball guy that exists in the Midwest I don't think would qualify as a proper spider, but I'm not an entomologist
The existence of a daddy longlegs implies the existence of a mommy longlegs and a baby longlegs
I always heard them called granddaddy long legs growing up
I always heard them called granddaddy long legs, which really cuts the sexual tension right out of it
Dont speak for everyone!

That's not a spider. Count the legs.
Given the post's title they could mean these which do have 8 legs (and are arachnids) but are not spiders, or these which are actually spiders.
For 6 legs, perhaps you are thinking of Crane flies?
I'd give all animals kinky names if it were up to me
Um... maybe we should walk that name back, just a tad?
It's not a spider though.

Title does say "harvest... guy", so harvestman. Which are not spiders.
