   Not much doing today, but Jeremy Tatum writes: Here is a pholcid spider from my Saanich apartment.

Depending on where you live in the world, the name “daddy-long-legs” is used for various creatures.  In the UK a “daddy-long-legs” means a crane fly.  Here it usually means a harvestman.  But sometimes the term is also used for a pholcid spider like this one.
