If you want to get really pedantic, none of the three completely different arthropods commonly called daddy longlegs are true bugs. True bugs are the order Hemiptera while crane flies are in Diptera and cellar spiders and harvestmen aren't insects at all.
Also, Opiliones don't produce silk and don't make webs, but Pholcidae do.
I meant Pholcidae not Opiliones, too many tabs open and I didn't look at the pic when I referenced the tab to get the name. 🤦
