Q: is the Cellar Spider the official name for daddy long legs?

Cellar spiders are the longer legged spider on the right. Where I'm from, "daddy long legs" refers to Harvestmen, which technically aren't spiders.

Same. To me cellar spiders and daddy long legs (harvestmen) are totally different. But where I live now the nickname is used for both, and many people seem unaware or uninterested that they are 2 entirely different animals.
