Huh, who uses that term for "crane flies"? We (US) use it for Pholcidae, and I think I've heard harvestmen called that on Australia or something, but never crane flies.
The UK uses it for crane flies.
Definitely depends on the region, cause daddy long legs are harvestmen (northeast US) e.g.
Do you mean to say that you call these spiders harvestmen?
This is the animal I know as harvestmen: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/90/Opiliones_harvestman.jpg/960px-Opiliones_harvestman.jpg
I think Ireland does. I occasionally hear it here in the UK, though it typically means harvestmen here
I always heard it used for both and it confused me that they were two different things.
I suppose it could depend on the region? We've got a very dense patchwork of dialects and they'll naturally bleed into one another a fair bit
