    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.

        Like sea spiders, which aren’t even closely related s, but belong in the pycognids in the chilcerates

      isnt a visually distinguishable division between the prosoma (head region) and opisthosoma (back region)

      But… it’s head looks like a black bunny and it’s back looks like a green spider. Is that not a distinguishable division? 🤔

      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 -missionaries- mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.

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