Do those legs actually work? Surely it cant stand up on those things?

Although I've not seen it move myself, the day after I took the picture it had moved from the window ledge onto the ceiling above the window.

Except that it's not a fact but an urban myth, and anyway it's about Daddy Long Legs as in the Crane Fly and not that spider.

@Skyfall, just type Cellar Spider into Google Images.

Looks like a Harvestman - they aren't spiders. Nice pic though.

Cellar Spider, commonly known as the Daddy Long-Legs Spider?

Here's a close up, just in case anyone with arachnophobia wasn't freaked out by the original.
