Weird Arachnid Found!

[Dry Desert]

If you find it again, I've been keeping one, they like it a bit on the humid side. They are omnivores, I've been feeding mine bits of carrot and pre-killed baby roaches - it seems to like both.

DADDY LONG LEGS.

Opiliones - Harvestmen.
Pholcidae - Cellar Spiders.
Pediciidae - Crane Flies.
All the above seem to have the comon name of " Daddy Long Legs " However the Crane Fly Pediciidae belonging to the family Tipuloidea is the one commonly known in Europe as " Daddy Long Legs" with Tipula paludosa being the Common European Crane Fly whose larvae are commonly known as "Leatherjackets"
The Weird Arachnid is as you say The Ornate Harvestman.

Great! Maybe I'll find it someday, I always manage to lose the coolest creepy-crawlies.
