harvestman, also daddy long legs
That's a harvestman more properly, but here in KS we call them daddy-long-legs too. Apparently some spiders also have that common name in other parts of the country.

 
Thank You
Is the havestman capable of biting a child?

Harmless
Not to worry. Although they are arachnids these creatures have their own order called Opiliones. Hence, they are not spiders.
