Say's armored harvestman (Libitioides sayi). Reported to hunt slow-moving arthropods but like most opiliones not opposed to scavenging. At night they clump together with others of the same species (use a 365nm flashlight to find them, because they fluoresce). Found under a log near the Mississippi River in West Feliciana Parish, LA. #harvestman #opiliones #cosmetidae #arachnid #nature #louisiana

Check out this outrageous NZ harvestman photographed by Sebastian Doak earlier this month near Charleston on the west coast of the South Island.
It's called Algidia viridata ssp. bicolor (yes, another incredible endemic NZ invertebrate still lacking a catchy common name). I've never seen one, but I want to!
The photos on the observation are CC-BY Sebastian Doak.

I did not expect to read the phrase "males have terminal nuptial gift sacs on their penises" today but here we are
A delightful paper comparing mating behaviour across _Leiobunum_ harvester species which have, or lack, nuptial gift-giving, out of Mercedes Burns' lab at the University of Maryland Baltimore County: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2025.123150 :cc_by: :cc_nc_us: :cc_nd: :OpenAccess:

A little harvestman sits at the center of a fiddlehead's spiral, like a minotaur at the center of a maze.

In honor of the Opiliones that years ago entered the kitchen & climbed the counter - to eat Schnitzel crumbs! It rotated a crumb like a cob of corn.

Visit by an #invasive #species on my windowsill in #Berlin: harvestman #Opilio #canestrinii (#Phalangiidae, #Opiliones). Although #globalwarming has recently made numerous invasive species native to #CentralEurope, some species were able to establish themselves already several decades ago, such as the opilionid presented here.

Some :OpenAccess: #arachnews from the Google Scholar alert…
We know very little about spider chromosomes; only a fraction of species (~900/50,000) have been studied. This study of 12 tiny spiders across 8 families found in leaf litter in Brazil helps fill in the gap. https://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/62/62-42.html
The clade shade is real in this paper sorting out the taxonomy of the opilionid family Cosmetidae in the US (and dunking on previous scientists' classifications). Just a reminder that most _Vonones_ species are now under _Libitioides_. https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/view/2143

Hello, I'm Josh - how are you?
In a past life I was conducting research for a #phd in #invasionecology but now a #conservation officer protecting our most threatened #invertebrates in the 12th worst place for biodiversity decline, #northernireland.
Some #entomology and associated focus for me has included #solitarybees , #wasps and #opiliones. Big fan of plants, especially #Lamiaceae and #Orobanchaceae.
Also do a bit of #macrophotography & encourage biological recording.
