For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Sorry for the late answer,only just registered, but to throw some more light or confusion onto things a Jimmy Spinner is another name for a crane fly sometime also referred to as a Daddy-Long-Legs (I believe wrongly). They are usually found in your bedroom late at night flicking around the ceiling. Whilst as Daddy-long-legs is what I commonly refer to as a walking current. Small round body with hellishly long legs.. or a harvestman, and are earth bound... Don't get me onto there poisonous bite...
Just seen this while looking for references to a Jimmy Spinner on google. I keep trying to tell my bloke that the flying things that click on light bulbs are called Jimmy Spinners, he says they are daddy long legs. We always called long legged spiders that though. I don't know where you are from but I am originally from Leeds.
