torafugu ( @torafugu@kbin.social ) 74•11 months agoThe word “daddy” has been so sexualized to the point to where if I have kids (highly unlikely scenario, since I use Arch Linux), I’ll just have them call me “father”.

Dandroid ( @dandroid@dandroid.app ) 9•11 months agoI think It’s actually regional what species the name “Daddy Long Legs” refers to.
TheEmpireStrikesDak ( @DakRalter@thelemmy.club ) 6•11 months agoCraneflies over here (UK). Is it harvestmen what other countries call daddy long legs?
zzzzzz ( @zzzzzz@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months agoYes.
hglman ( @hglman@lemmy.ml ) 4•11 months agoThey are spiders? What animal are you referring to?
Is it not
buckykat ( @buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 6•11 months agoCould also be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones?useskin=vector which aren’t spiders but still are arachnids and have 8 legs, or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly?useskin=vector which are not arachnids at all, but insects and have 6 legs. All 3 different groups are called daddy longlegs.
PeriodicallyPedantic ( @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ) 3•11 months agoI’m gonna be honest. I’ve used the term to refer to both Pholcidae, and crane fly. I didn’t even realize they weren’t the same, I didn’t count the legs. I was really confused why sometimes it made a web and someone it had wings. The wings made me doubt it was a spider… But now it turns out it’s just two similar ass bugs, and I should have paid closer attention.
Edit: opinions to Opiliones
Edit 2: Opiliones to Pholcidae. Pasted the wrong text fml
buckykat ( @buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) 3•11 months agoIf you want to get really pedantic, none of the three completely different arthropods commonly called daddy longlegs are true bugs. True bugs are the order Hemiptera while crane flies are in Diptera and cellar spiders and harvestmen aren’t insects at all.
Also, Opiliones don’t produce silk and don’t make webs, but Pholcidae do.
PeriodicallyPedantic ( @PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca ) 3•11 months agoI meant Pholcidae not Opiliones, too many tabs open and I didn’t look at the pic when I referenced the tab to get the name. 🤦
