yeah. a lot of people do, and use the term for both, but they are definitely different species.

I also agree the two spiders you show are different species, but "Daddy Long Legs" and "Cellar Spiders" are hardly "species names".

If you asked 100 Aussies what those spiders were 100 would say "Daddy Long Legs".

that argument gets thrown in there a lot too. it is just a name.

sweet, they match. here is the difference. right under species is 'order'.
cellar spider order: spider
daddy long legs order: Opiliones

cellar spiders are spiders, daddy long legs aren't.
didn't mean to get in to a debate, was just commenting on a cute spider that was posted. hope it could be educational though. i love all things eight legged. heh
