Just as a reminder: The name "daddy long legs" refers to at least three different animals! We have a video for each of them: -Cellar Spider (this video) -Harvestmen: th-cam.com/video/gVbPU9VA1uU/w-d-xo.html -Crane Flies: th-cam.com/video/2RF6iyrwAeU/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Why would three different creatures have the same nickname? In the South and country there is only one creature called that and it’s Opiliones. It’s completely illogical to say people call three different creatures the same name. My dogs a bear, a raccoon is a bear and a bear is a bear remember people!
@@AnimalFactFiles How funny would it be if one day spiders could talk and we find out this whole time they were just dancing lol. I have a lil family of 3 living on my balcony. They have their corner and even though I have arachnophobia, I am trying to get over it. I think they're beautiful and love to watch them spin a web. The only time I'll interfere is if a bee gets caught and the spider hasn't come towards it. I've successfully rescued several bees from webs and removed the webbing from them, I usually put a few drops of water on the cement step until it creates a tiny bubble on the surface next to the bee, and they typically drag themselves through the water, drink some, and use their legs to clean the webbing off. A few have let me help them by letting me gently hold the webbing while they pull themselves out of it. I'd love to be able to hold a tarantula and KNOW I'm not going to drop it bc I'd feel AWFUL if I hurt one. That seems like the ultimate test for myself.
These guys are good to have around. Because of their leg size, they can kill off pretty much any kind of bug or spider (or at least the ones where I live). They avoid people's living spaces and usually stick to their corners.
@@PieterPatrick These are not giant house spiders. A “giant house spider” is a species of common house spiders, aka funnel webs. While house spiders are relatively common here in western Canada, I’ve only really seen a giant one before which was the size of a mouse (like 6-7” leg span). Cellar spiders will mess those ones up so they are good to keep around. Honestly, house spiders are good at pest control too, but I really don’t want those things running around

@@V_for_Vovin The Giant house spider is the normal housespider here... ...I'm in The Netherlands. I always call them Harry. :-) They did scare me to dead 2 times, but I still love them.
I'll just through this out there: they're MORE than willing to share webs. I've seen single large compound webs with ten or more in residence. Pretty sure it's just a matter of convenience in an ideal prey corridor, but worth mentioning. There's a large population in the factory I work at. It stays warm inside all year round, and they over-winter there with little effort. Other point to make is they're able to take prey larger and more deadly than themselves _because_ of their longer legs. Gives a massive reach advantage when throwing silk to wrap the target up. If you can find *"The Cobweb Hotel,"* that old cartoon *very* much makes me think of cellar spiders.
Yes this is all very true! Thanks so much for sharing!! It's tough to fit everything into a short four minute video, so comments like these are really cool to see
Yep, the lil group of 3 I have on my balcony share pretty close quarters and have a massive web, I can also still easily see their first 2 sheds for all 3 cellar spiders. They must have JUST shed again bc they're all still really close to their sheds. And it almost looks like they intentionally shed both times in the same exact spots, all 3 of them with both sheds.
Fun thing I've noticed, during the day they tend to stay in the corners of rooms or behind furniture, but at night they like to explore the room, possibly looking for a better location. You don't normally notice that unless you spend time on your phone before going to sleep and one skittles on the part of the pillow that is lit up by the screen, scaring the shit out of you for 3s and it disappears.
Being somebody who is into raising arachnids, I have one of these who lives in my room. I named her Charlotte and feed her extra crickets that my tarantulas or scorpions don't eat. Definitely don't want to kill or evict these spiders!
I do plumbing in Idaho and as much as I hate spiders, it's kinda nice seeing these guys around because that usually means you don't have to worry about black widows and brown recluse as much.
I see these spiders in my house all the time. They're not going out of their way to interact with you if they can help it. They are completely harmless.
I have a canopy of webs in my back entrance way. I have one in the bathroom with an egg sack in it's jaws. I have seen hundreds of spiderlings on the ceiling hangin' out with Mom.
I work at Petsmart and we have so many of these guys in the back 😩 I always leave them alone because they're good at catching any stray crickets from the bin lol
I always see these in the bathroom. They should be called the shower spider! Whenever the kids scream SPIDER before a bath, this is what I see when I go to "save the day".
I always leave cellar spiders be, I've seen them in every room of my home, and my shed is full of them too. I can't stand house spiders but these guys eat them which is very much appreciated... I'm moving soon and I'm honestly considering taking some with me to make sure they clear the place of house spiders!
I used to live in a basement apartment and got to see multiple generations of these little crawlies birthed into the world. Would often feed them stupid annoying houseflies. I have a much nicer place now but I still sometimes miss my little spider buddies.
I think you might be right about the myth existing because of the other daddy long legs, I have repeatedly heard it throughout my life in reference to harvestmen. Also, I remember from a cgp grey video that there is apparently also a plant called daddy long legs because of course humans decided to name a plant that
I saw a cellar spider in the corner of my kitchen ceiling, but I didn't really know if it was harmful to humans (in the situation of a human doing nothing to the spider). I just watched this video, so thanks for the info! It has actually been a real help, and it has been killing off a lot of flies that are honestly just really annoying. So far, it's just been chilling in my roof, haha. Sorry to be late!
I didn’t know cellar spiders ate black widows. Makes sense though. Those long legs keep dangerous prey away from the vulnerable body while the cellar spider wraps it up and zooms in for tactical bites. Makes ya glad humans are as big as we are, eh? My husband has been bitten by a cellar spider before. He said it felt like almost nothing.
@@jumpyspiderlady8454 Their bite is less than a mosquito bite. It goes away within a few hours. It’s actually rare for one to bite you. They usually just want to get away.
I have at least one of these in every room. The only thing I do is clean up old webs but otherwise I leave them alone. I recently watched one capture a much bigger spider in my living room. They really do a lot to keep other arachnids and insects under control.
I have one living in my room, i actually found that one today while doing some much overdue cleaning hehe. I have another one living in my bathroom, that one has been living there for several months and i've named it Scilla, like the big titan spider from the Godzilla movies. Cellar spiders tend to pay their rent by helping control other bug population in the house so i leave them alone. Every summer i have a few that build their webs in my room and bathroom and i always leave them alone and they always catch other bugs.
@@GlassyHades I think daddy longlegs are the one spider you'll eventualyl fear less off. Once you get past the fact they just have long legs which at sometimes makes them look goofy when they walk cause they just bounce lol
Cellar Spider are the reason I'm good with bigger spiders but not little ones. Used to watch these guys when I couldn't sleep at night as a little, tiny kid. They liked to spin their webs near where the nightlight was put.
All apisers scare me too death except the “baby jumping hoppies” which I call them. I like all animal ,reptile and insect species but cant get over the sudden fear when i see a spider. SO I watch hundreds of videos to try to alleviate my fear. Thank you for your video of celllar spiders.
I have arachnophobia, but I can tolerate these spiders, I am so used to seeing numerous of these in my house between April and October that I have even grown to like them.
Daddy Long Legs are scary. I leave them alone cuz I know they're harmless and don't usually get near me, and I don't wanna hurt them, but they're definitely scary 😱
I love the cellar spiders in my garage. I feed them the annoying bugs that fly into my rooms. It's entertaining to watch them as they wrap the prey in silk -- they will pull unneeded strands of web up to their mouth and bite the strand to cut it, like you might bite a piece of string with your teeth to cut it. It's pretty neat. I wait till they get thin, then feed them and check on them the next day and there's a nice plump spooder.
I have been trying to find research about how well these spiders can see. I see some regularly and, despite picking out-of-the-way places, there are some that approach me from their lairs. A distance of over 2 feet, sometimes. Then, they hang above me. This makes me curious about their vision and other behaviors. So, reference to informative research links would be greatly appreciated.
used to catch these at work and release them at home. had about 20 i could see at home because i wanted them around and not any others because we had a black widow problem at my house. i caught 2 out of like 400
these guys are good at getting other spiders while they're in their web, out of their web they become easy prey. i use cellar spiders to feed my eastern parson spider during winter when other bugs are hard to find.
I get these little cannibals in my bathroom all the time. Remodeling it so there are some gaps in the greenboard. For the last 5 years..... Epic remodel! I seemingly have to rescue one of these guys everyday when I take a shower. Then there is always one or two in a corner of the shower running to get a drink them BAM. One takes out the other. CRAWLY NOOOOO... Got some ants after heavy rain. Ants came in right under the spiders. I let them run around for a few days. Just Carpenter ants. Dead webbed up ants all piled up. Go get em boys.
@@pennytrui1149 I think despite the legs they are one of the spiders that aren't as scary as half of them you get. I think just the really long legs can put people off
Very interesting, definitely seen these in our shed an I believe they are also around our house from time to time too, didn't know they could actually bite us thought they where harmless in that regard. The roommates I've had in the house over the years have been nothing but quiet calm and considerate anyway.🕷🏡☘
They usually run away from me if I see them. My old place had a lot of spiders. I work up once after I felt my hair move. There was a huge Wolf Spider in my hair. 😳
I was observing a Cellar Spider on her web with a clutch of eggs held in her mouth that was living above the toilet at work recently. I kept an eye on her for ages, waiting to see the little spiderlings. Then one day the eggs were gone and there was no little spiders. I presumed she ate them.
Hello, I am a fan of your amazing videos. Me and my younger brother learned a lot about animals and microorganisms. I am curious about ribbon worm and I want to learn more about them. I hope you can make a video about them. 🙏🙏😊😊😊🥰🥰🥰
I had a lot of what my landlord called Common House Spiders. The female looks like a lot the a Brown Widow. I caught one to show him. He's an exterminator
Hello I have a momma of these whom had a egg sack in her jaw for couple days. eventually hatched. fed her n babies mosquitos and moths for a few days but now she is completely gone and i see a few babies that are clearly alive and a couple more that seem to be dead but not sure if it is just there molt? is the timeline to molt from hatching a few days? i sure miss momma spider and i cant find her anywhere in my room. so im here researching trying to find answers
They're ugly as can be, but they're pretty chill. I'll keep one here and there above the shower when I have a problem with fruit flies. They're great at catching them.
Im super scared of all spiders, but not these guys. I always let them hang around. Most chill spiders with their little dances 🥹🕸️-and they dont get millions of babys!
There is a cellar spider in my bathroom and I’m trying to not feel scared of him so I’ve worked out he’s a male and named him jeffy and now I’m finding out more about him in hopes we can be friends
Can cellar spiders change the color of their silk? I ask cause one spun a ton of web in my bathroom overnight and when i grabbed it with white toilet paper i was shocked to see it was pink. It looked like spun cotten candy.
So what is the predator of these cellar spiders then? I often see these spiders near triagulate cob web spiders in the garbage room where I live but the cellar ones are gone the next day but cob web spiders still there.
I love watching them carry the eggs. Constantly need to get them out the shower though. I really panic about accidently killing the little dudes... 😫 Is it true that it's safer (for them) to just move them to another room instead of putting them outside? I'll usually just move them to a hallway if they're in the shower.
So i have a pet marbled cellarspider she was really cool and she spend a time withe me and suddenly she laid 50 eggs and baybies but my four baybies they start growing up and then they exiting me
I have a bunch of spiders living in my walls. have never had a problem with ants, mosquitoes or other bugs. spiders are awesome unless they are venomous but even then they don't go after humans, you have to be messing with it first.
I know I've already suggested this, but I'm not sure if you saw it. Can you do a video on the linsang? Such a cool animal but I can't find much info about it online. I love your videos, I watch them religiously! Thank you :)
Has anyone here actually ever been but by one? And if so how painful on a scale of 1-10? I handle them all the time and have never been bitten. Just curious.
Fun fact: These spiders ARE the deadliest animal in the world. One bite can take down 50 elephants. When you disturb their web, they spin violently, to bite multiple humans at once from all directions very quickly. Truly ferocious creatures!
Daddy long legs aren't spiders. They're incects. The most obvious difference between them and spiders is the number of legs they have. Daddy long legs have 6 legs where as spiders have 8. That's the knowledge I grew up with at least
You probably grew up learning that the animals also commonly known as crane flies are "daddy long legs"; crane flies are insects, however they are not the only animals with the common name "daddy long legs". There are least three different groups of animals called "daddy long legs" and the cool part is that the name is correct for every single one of them! If you want to learn more about what sounds to be *your* "daddy long legs" (the crane fly), you can check out our video on them here: th-cam.com/video/2RF6iyrwAeU/w-d-xo.html
I’m not going to keep saying it. Cellar Spiders ARE NOT daddy long legs. Opiliones are and they are not true spiders but arachnids. Cellar Spiders are true spiders and they are called Cellar Spiders. Get it right.
Sorry to break it to you but in different parts of the English-speaking world all three creatures mentioned in this video _are_ referred to as Daddy Longlegs.

my dad has no chill for cellar spiders since he hates their cobwebs
The only bugs that I'm okay with living in my house
This spider is very good spider to have in the house and get rid of insects in house .
Hello I have a momma of these whom had a egg sack in her jaw for couple days. eventually hatched. fed her n babies mosquitos and moths for a few days but now she is completely gone and i see a few babies that are clearly alive and a couple more that seem to be dead but not sure if it is just there molt? is the timeline to molt from hatching a few days? i sure miss momma spider and i cant find her anywhere in my room. so im here researching trying to find answers
Interesting creatures
They're ugly as can be, but they're pretty chill. I'll keep one here and there above the shower when I have a problem with fruit flies. They're great at catching them.
I have had these spiders in my room all my life and have never gotten near me. They do not BITE
My mom used to call their webs Irish lace ☘
that is when they start collecting dust..🙂
Im super scared of all spiders, but not these guys. I always let them hang around. Most chill spiders with their little dances 🥹🕸️-and they dont get millions of babys!
There is a cellar spider in my bathroom and I’m trying to not feel scared of him so I’ve worked out he’s a male and named him jeffy and now I’m finding out more about him in hopes we can be friends
Yep they're bros. I'm not a fan of wolf spiders in my house and I've seen a daddy long leg make lunch out of one
Only time I ever see these guys is when they're hanging upside down the bunch of white mold on them
Can cellar spiders change the color of their silk? I ask cause one spun a ton of web in my bathroom overnight and when i grabbed it with white toilet paper i was shocked to see it was pink. It looked like spun cotten candy.
I have one near my trash can, his name is Minnie wheat but he's huge.
Always welcome in my house. These amazing spiders kill other more horrible spiders 😊
So what is the predator of these cellar spiders then? I often see these spiders near triagulate cob web spiders in the garbage room where I live but the cellar ones are gone the next day but cob web spiders still there.
I love watching them carry the eggs. Constantly need to get them out the shower though. I really panic about accidently killing the little dudes... 😫
Is it true that it's safer (for them) to just move them to another room instead of putting them outside? I'll usually just move them to a hallway if they're in the shower.
So i have a pet marbled cellarspider she was really cool and she spend a time withe me and suddenly she laid 50 eggs and baybies but my four baybies they start growing up and then they exiting me
Dance and dance spider
I have a bunch of spiders living in my walls. have never had a problem with ants, mosquitoes or other bugs. spiders are awesome unless they are venomous but even then they don't go after humans, you have to be messing with it first.
Can you do fact files on the yak?
Love this suggestion!
Make a vídeo about jacanas
Love this suggestion! Thank you!
I know I've already suggested this, but I'm not sure if you saw it. Can you do a video on the linsang? Such a cool animal but I can't find much info about it online. I love your videos, I watch them religiously! Thank you :)
Oh yes that's an excellent suggestion and it is on the list! Thank you so much!!
I heard that all widow spiders are dangerous is that true.
Sorry wrong comment
Pholcus phalangioides.
Are cellar spiders animals or insects
They are animals as well as arachnids (they are not insects)
I'm so sick of wildly untrue but somehow extremely widespread misconceptions that I am just going to start making up b*******
MY CELLAR EAT A CRANE FLY BEFORE
How and when?!
Daddy cannibalism.
These are not ever called daddy long legs. you have been mis infomed.
Sorry to break it to you but all three creatures mentioned here are known as Daddy Longlegs somewhere in the English-speaking world.
Has anyone here actually ever been but by one? And if so how painful on a scale of 1-10? I handle them all the time and have never been bitten. Just curious.
0/10 its not painful dont worry
Yeah, you couldn't even call it a nip, it's like being bitten by a mosquito - you're more likely to notice the bite after the spider is long gone.
I will keep bathroom door shut if can bite ya
Fun fact: These spiders ARE the deadliest animal in the world. One bite can take down 50 elephants. When you disturb their web, they spin violently, to bite multiple humans at once from all directions very quickly. Truly ferocious creatures!
Why do they repel down to my face?
WHY NAME DADDY
I think i might have killed one
Daddy long legs aren't spiders. They're incects. The most obvious difference between them and spiders is the number of legs they have. Daddy long legs have 6 legs where as spiders have 8.
That's the knowledge I grew up with at least
You probably grew up learning that the animals also commonly known as crane flies are "daddy long legs"; crane flies are insects, however they are not the only animals with the common name "daddy long legs". There are least three different groups of animals called "daddy long legs" and the cool part is that the name is correct for every single one of them! If you want to learn more about what sounds to be *your* "daddy long legs" (the crane fly), you can check out our video on them here: th-cam.com/video/2RF6iyrwAeU/w-d-xo.html
Harvestmen are not insects. They're arachnids but not true spiders.
I’m not going to keep saying it. Cellar Spiders ARE NOT daddy long legs. Opiliones are and they are not true spiders but arachnids. Cellar Spiders are true spiders and they are called Cellar Spiders. Get it right.
Sorry to break it to you but in different parts of the English-speaking world all three creatures mentioned in this video _are_ referred to as Daddy Longlegs.
NOBODY refers crane flies as daddy long legs. LOL
Except all of us in the UK and Ireland. LOL x2
