Sorry to correct you, Lanzz, but this species is a spider.
They are always mistaken as Harvestmen because of their similar skinny appearances and their shared common name - Daddy-Longlegs.
There are few ways of differentiating them.
Cellar spiders built webs but harvestmen cannot.
Furthermore, spiders have 2 main body parts - head and abdomen
while in harvestmen, their head and abdomen are fused together as one.
