That Daddy long legs is not a spider. But please don't post a photograph of a spider, as they are repuslive.

Daddy-long-legs
Phalangium opilio

Most people think these creatures are spiders, but they aren't. If you look closely, you will see that spiders have two body parts, while daddy-long-legs have only one. When they walk, daddy-long-legs use their second pair of legs to feel their way, just like some insects use their antennae. There are numerous species of daddy-long-legs. These animals cannot bite.
