Do these look like Vonones ornata babies?

I noticed these guys today as I was cleaning a millipede enclosure. This particular enclosure housed 3 Ornate Harvestmen as well, so I'm inclined to believe they are babies. However, I can't be too sure, I mean there was a crane fly in there the other day, somehow.
One of the pictures has a springtail for scale.

Yes, they certainly do appear to to be harvestman of some sort. I am not familiar with harvestman though, so can someone else make sure?

Thanks,

Proportionally they look like V. ornata, but I admit that I don't know enough about young harvestmen to say.

They certainly look like baby harvestmen to me, but I'm not that well versed with them so I can't confirm species for you. But I would assume that if you only have one species in there, it would have to be babies of that species.

Craneflies produce larvae, so they definitely aren't baby craneflies.

Congrats on the babies!

Well they are definitely some sort of harvestman and logically I would assume ornata since you had adults in there unless another species got in somehow lol.
