Chile Harvestmen?

[Kevin_Davies]

I remember seing these on a UK site that sells inverts several years ago, the description was that they are orange and larger then the UK native species, and that as well as insects they eat fruit?! I didnt know any spiders ate fruit? i didnt get them at the time, but am interested in finding out about them now, does anyone know anything about them? are they still offered for sale anywhere?

Thanks

Harvestmen are not spiders. They are arachnids though!

I've heard the ones around my place eat little bugs and leaf litter.

ah sorry, I worded it incorrectly, I know that they arent spiders.

I did some reading, and aparently they feed mostly on recently dead invertebrates.
