Citizen scientists have helped researchers solve a long-standing mystery about how parental care evolved in harvestmen. Using photos and observations from iNaturalist, scientists more than doubled… #science #harvestmen #evolution

"The team compiled known sightings of frog-eating harvestmen and found that many of these events involved frogs that were still alive, which hints that the daddy longlegs might be hunting rather than scavenging, García says."

Harvestman, Nemastoma bimaculatum, apparently common, but the first one for me.

A strange harvestman, (one of the arachnid "daddy long-legs") Posted to the Arachtober pool for Arachtober 2025 Day 1. Sorry; damaged, but living still. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wanderin_weeta/54823416902/in/pool-arachtober/ #Arachtober2025 #Arachnids #Harvestmen #Invertebrates

2 harvestmen sitting on this plant, the other I cannot picture from this angle but I can see their legs.
probably sitting and waiting to ambush unsuspecting insects looking to get some of that flower.

Oh #Arboreal #HarvestMen, arachnids up on high!
> This entoLEARN webinar will explore UK species of vegetation-dwelling harvestmen. These species use their long legs and sensory adaptations to navigate bark, leaves, and canopy vegetation.

CW: Not for #arachnophobics...
@autisticphotographer
within Arachnida, it belongs to Opiliones, colloquially known as harvestmen, harvesters, harvest spiders, or daddy longlegs, all names which are unfortunately shared with animals that aren't closely related to Opiliones. Sorry if that's too broad; hopefully someone else can be more helpful.maybe @russell could help.

Discovery of 48-million-year-old #DaddyLonglegs with their iridescent, metallic appearance intact
https://phys.org/news/2024-06-discovery-million-year-daddy-longlegs.htmlIridescent #harvestmen from the #Eocene of #Messel, Germany https://phys.org/news/2024-06-discovery-million-year-daddy-longlegs.html
"The metallic appearance is probably due to so-called #StructuralColors, where the surface of the animal's cuticle reflects light in such a way that they have a shiny appearance, even 48 million years later. This has never been seen in #fossil harvestmen before."

Reviewing some photos of Harvestmen I took today and realise I really want to find this spiky little gem.

CW: Arachnid photo (harvestman)
Found a harvestman crawling along some planks at work. Probably the eastern harvestman. (L. vittatum)
For those who don't know, harvestmen may be arachnids, but they're not spiders! They're pretty easily identified by the broad connection between the front and rear body segments, making the body look like just one large segment. They sometimes get mixed up with cellar spiders, which also get called "daddy long legs."
-
#Arachtober 3: got a view of this opilionid's underside that let me see the chelate (clawed) ends of its chelicerae! Also note the way the prehensile end of its legs wraps around the plant stem (near some aphids, bonus).
-
Intromittent sexual organs—a.k.a. penises or aedeagi—are rare in arachnids, but opilionids have them. Here's a mating pair (_Phalangium opilio_?) I found the other night. NSFW for amorous arachnids.
I like how in the first picture you can see how the prehensile end of one of the male's legs is carefully curled around the female's abdomen, holding on with a tiny claw.

While looking through some recent photographs of mosquito larvae, I noticed tiny (~1 mm) arthropods that look like miniature harvestmen. Is that what they are? And, if so, what are they doing underwater? Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA. #opiliones #harvestmen #nature #arachnid #arthropod
-
They certainly make Opiliones a bit different in NZ! This incredible arachnid is one of the ~160 native NZ species of 'short-legged' harvestmen (Laniatores), in the family Triaenonychidae, possibly Algidia sp.
Thanks to Bryce McQuillan for ID help.
