We call them "Schneider" (tailor) in Germany. Or at least some creature looking similar to this one.

That took me down the rabbithole of Wikipedia, cause I could swear that Schneiders were big flying insects in my childhood. Turns out there is a whole bunch of confusion in naming going on, and not just in german. Daddy long legs (I guess what the meme plays on) can be an arachnid or an insect depending on whom you ask

The one with the wings is clearly a "Häbbergas".
