I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn't perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.

Same family as 'Daddy Long Legs'? From my colloquial knowledge they eat mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.

Yep! "Daddy long legs" is a widely applied colloquial term for harvestman, or opiliones. Though I'm sure some spider species are also called that by some people.

Given the colloquial meaning of daddy nowadays, that name tickles me greatly.
