I tried to use my exercise ball, but this guy was already using it. I'm curious: The colloquial name for these in the US is "Daddy Long-Legs". What are they called elsewhere?

In Germany we call them Zimmermann (=carpenter), Weberknecht (tailor's assisitant) oder Zitterspinne (vibrating spider).
I have at least one of these as regular lodger when temperatures go down outside.

"Weberknecht" would be "weaver's assistant" (or servant) - due to their being so skinny (weavers were known to be poor and underfed). But I remember the other names Walter gave as well. Here in Switzerland, "Weberknecht" ("Wäberchnächt", all very velar) is most common to my knowledge.
A bit of trompe-l'oeil zen from me ...

Turned into quite a nice walk today, in spite of the fact that I was actually grounded for a couple of hours (nothing major, just bad timing).
