My girl friend found this little guy in our windowsill, catching a fly, thought we'd get a pic.

Enjoy

It looks like it might be a cellar spider (Family: Pholcidae), which are sometimes called "daddy long legs". That name is more often associated with harvestmen (order: Opiliones) which are an alltogether different arachnid order and are not spiders.

I think that is on the east coast only because on the west coast everyone refers to cellar spiders as daddy long legs. We don't see harvestmen here much in california or other western states.
