Same family as ‘Daddy Long Legs’? From my colloquial knowledge they eat -missionaries- mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.

Yep! “Daddy long legs” is a widely applied colloquial term for harvestman, or opiliones. Though I’m sure some spider species are also called that by some people.

  Given the colloquial meaning of daddy nowadays, that name tickles me greatly.
