I learned this is an arachnid, just not a spider. It is a huntsman. Pretty cool.

Some cool daddy long legs facts- the most interesting is that they are more related to scorpions than spiders.

A father watched his little daughter playing in the garden. Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her and noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.

Girl: Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?
Dad: They're mating.
Girl: What do you call the spider on top?
Dad: That's a Daddy Longlegs.
Girl: So, the other one is Mommy Longlegs?
Dad: No, both of them are Daddy Longlegs.

The little girl thought for a moment, then she stomped them flat and said "Well, that might be okay in California but we're not having any of that shit here in Texas."

I laughed pretty good at that. So did Mrs. Beancooker
