From the Yard 3: Opiliones


This little creature was caught crossing the floor of our kitchen last night. Very late (Nov 14th) for an active little invertebrate.

I haven't been able to track down the exact species of this fellow (perhaps a Phalangium Opilio?) but I am pretty certain that it is a Harvestman, a type of arachnid of the order Opiliones.

Harvestman are arachnids (like spiders, scorpions, etc) and although they look like spiders, they are not. He/She had 7 legs, I wonder what happened to the 8th?
