@Asgiliath I hear there's some absolutely massive ones around Arizona I think it was, there was a pic uploaded of a huge one on here not too long ago. I can definitely see myself doing the same not gonna lie
@RezonantVoid yeah? I grew up in Ohio so never saw anything special. Gosh I love AZ though....my dad works out there about half of the year and when I go out I spend most of my time horseback riding but I’d love to go herping there! Haven’t seen a wild T yet but have dodged multiple rattlers on the trail!
I can confirm that this is indeed a harvestman spider. Believe it or not these are not actually spiders, they just have a kinship to spiders. These arachnids are really closer related to scorpions!
@MrGhostMantis harvestmen have their own order under Arachnida called Opiliones. So you're right about them not being spiders (no venom or silk glands, fused carapace, single set of eyes etc) but I don't think they are related more closely to scorpions. Their closest relatives are mites, Pseudoscorpiones and solifugae
