This spider has taken residence in a corner of one of the rooms, I’m not bothered by them but the web is getting a bit too big… can I just remove part of it to keep the size in check without causing harm to the spider?

Daddy long legs aren’t spiders.

If it looks like a spider, and acts like a spider, and freaks me out like a spider, it’s close enough
In the UK what we call a daddy longlegs has wings and flies (a crane fly I think). Obviously a very widely used name for things with a small body and a bunch of long legs haha
That doesn’t look like my friend at all lol
This one here looks very much similar to my friend (thin and long body): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae
No idea why there’s multiple animals called all the same way though
Depends on who you ask. Pholcidae are also called daddy longlegs and are spiders.
