    I believe that that’s a harvestman actually. It is an arachnid but not a spider. They are suuuper ancient. The giveaway is that there isnt a visually distinguishable division between the prosoma (head region) and opisthosoma (back region) as there is in the spiders and other arachnids like the solifuges.

      I think arachnids that aren’t spiders scare me even more.

        There’s no reason to be afraid of Opiliones. Their mouthparts are the wrong shape and too small to do harm to a human. Also, unlike spiders, there are no known Opiliones with venom. Their chelicerae are for grasping only.

      I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn’t perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.

        Same family as ‘Daddy Long Legs’? From my colloquial knowledge they eat mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.

          Yep! “Daddy long legs” is a widely applied colloquial term for harvestman, or opiliones. Though I’m sure some spider species are also called that by some people.

    All spiders are little mechs to me! Their legs are powered by hydraulics!

    Can we standardize including info and/or better quality images when posting images with unusual/interesting animals, since this is the science based community?
