It looks like a Harvestman. People refer to them as "Daddy Long Legs". They are more closely related to the Mite than they are to Spiders. They do not have the ability to make webs and they do not produce venom as spiders do. We used to play with them when I was a child.
Welcome to Project Noah! There is a website called BugGuide.net where experts can help identify insects if you submit your photo there.
