In the UK at least, harvestmen are very skinny spiders with small round 
bodies about 0.5cm across and long hairlike legs. Daddylonglegs are a 
type of fly reminiscent of a large mosquito but with a very skinny body 
and stupidly oversized legs just like harvest-spider. Both are 
completely harmless.

Scott's photo definitely shows an arachnid of some kind if those are all 
legs.
