  • not a Daddy long legs....?

    ......so what is it? please can anyone help?

    Sorry no pic - just rushing to work when saw this chappy on my house wall.

    It had the longest legs ever!!! and a tiny, tiny delicate body, grey/brown in colour. awww lovely

    Legs maybe 2" long ( front ones - well more kept to the side really )

    Something makes me think that while it looks very spider like is is not actually a spider at all.

    But what is it....driving me nuts - I should know this.

    How many legs did it have? Spider 8, insect 6. Did it have wings?

    Maybe it was a harvestman?

        TEB kinda but not quite, body was not so bulbous from what I recall,and not so segmented. It has too short 'feelers' at the front.
        Mr HF just about to take a pic for me ....it's still there!
        Will try and post pic over the weekend.
