I've never heard the term crane flies.
However, a daddy long leg is a spider.

It is because people get confused, daddy long legs are spiders not crane flies. Crane flies fly about rather awkwardly around this time of year looking for a mate, they only last 5 days after which they die, daddy long legs last a whole lot longer than 5 days.

So what you've gotten considered may were a crane fly and it may were a spider. The crane fly has an elongated body, six legs, and wings. It sounds like a time-honored mosquito.

Daddy long legs are spiders. Anyone who calls crane flies by that name is just flatout mistaken.
