There are three unrelated species of arthropods that are referred to as "daddy-long legs," a family of cellar spiders, a separate order of arachnids known commonly as harvestmen, and the crane-fly. It doesn't help that the cellar spiders and the harvestmen look very similar.
I've cared about this before. A lot of things called daddy longlegs are really spiders but not the type I've ever seen in Texas.
This is what I've seen here that we call that: A true daddy-long-legs is actually not a spider at all! Unlike other arachnids, which have 2 body segments, a daddy-long-legs just has 1. They not only have no venom, they also have no fangs. They have a tough time killing anything, let alone a human being. They usually feed off of dead plant and animal matter.

On top of that, growing up Cicadas were called Locust by everyone. Locust were just called another type of Grasshopper.
So growing in church hearing about a plague of locust I was picturing huge hordes of Cicadas flying over Egypt.
Let my people go or these fuckers are going to fly around screaming at you.
How weird.
