Pholcus phalangioides, commonly known as the cosmopolitan cellar spider, long-bodied cellar spider, or one of various types called a daddy long-legs spider, is a spider of the family Pholcidae. This is the only spider species described by the Swiss entomologist Johann Kaspar Füssli , who first recorded it in 1775. [ 1 ]
The Opiliones are known for having exceptionally long legs relative to their body size; however, some species are short-legged. As in all Arachnida, the body in the Opiliones has two tagmata , the anterior cephalothorax or prosoma , and the posterior 10-segmented abdomen or opisthosoma .
Like other harvestmen, P. opilio have long, slender legs and a short, round body. Adult P. opilio have a body length of 3.5–9 mm (1 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 8 in). Males tend to have smaller bodies than females, but have noticeably larger pedipalps and chelicerae with prominent outgrowths (horns) on the dorsal side of the second segment.
The body is often whitish or grey in colour. [4] Harvestmen , which share the name "daddy longlegs", also have long and thin legs but have only one pair of eyes, and their body appears to be a single segment. [6] Like other spiders, pholcids have two body segments, the prosoma and opisthosoma.
Both sexes possess extremely long fragile legs. Males have slightly longer legs than females. The first pair of legs in larger male individuals can reach up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) in length. The legs are gray to amber in color and covered with numerous small longitudinal brown spots.
An adult crane fly, resembling an oversized male mosquito, typically has a slender body and long, stilt-like legs that are deciduous, easily coming off the body. [12] [2] Like other insects, their wings are marked with wing interference patterns which vary among species, thus are useful for species identification. [13]

The breed has short legs, with an elongated body. Unusually among Scottish terrier breeds, it has pendulous ears. [22] The neck is muscular, having developed from the breed's use against larger game. [23] The typical height at the withers is 8–11 inches (20–28 cm), and they can weigh anywhere between 18–24 pounds (8.2–10.9 kg). [22]
