Harvestmen (Opiliones)

...doing what everybody has to do - sometimes :-)

 

Weberknecht, männl.

Malgré sa ressemblance, un opilion n'est pas une araignée. Il est dépourvu de glandes sérigènes et ne peut produire de soie.

les faucheux appartiennent à l'ordre des opilions (Opiliones), un nom créé en 1833 par le naturaliste suédois Karl Sundevall (du latin opilio : berger), peut-être en référence aux échasses utilisées autrefois par les bergers

 

Despite its similarity, an opilion is not a spider. It is devoid of serigenic glands and can not produce silk.

the mower belonged to the Order of Opilions (Opiliones), a name created in 1833 by the Swedish naturalist Karl Sundevall (from the Latin opilio: shepherd), perhaps in reference to stilts formerly used by shepherds.

Not a true Spider , only having 2 eyes, no poison fangs

But still an Arachnid / subfamily Phalangiinae

not quite as clear as i would like but this one proved most difficult to get a crisp shot

A black and white photograph of what i believe to be a Phalangium opilio.

This is one from the back garden last September. These are probably the most difficult to get an image with good composition with all those very long legs, so didn't try and just went in close instead.

 

Best viewed very large.

I think this is Phalangium Opilio, but I'm not 100% certain. It seems to have a couple of legs missing!

On a table in our garden.

Apparently there are some 30 known species in the UK. They look like spiders (and belong to the same family) but on closer inspection they do not have a separate cephalothorax and abdomen. I THINK this may be Opilio canestrinii, an invasive species from Europe - spreading north from Italy, Austria and Switzerland. But, as usual, whenever I try to get an ID of anything, the pictures on line and from books do not always look quite like what I've photographed.....

The Common harvestman is familiar to us as the long-legged, small-bodied spider-like creature that frequents gardens and houses. Harvestmen are a common and widespread group of long-legged invertebrates and about 25 species live in the UK.

 

Thank you for your comments & fav.!

паякоподобно, дългокрако, не плете мрежа- Обикновен сенокосец - Phalangium opilio , spider similar, do not make net

Don't call him "Spidey"

My heart belongs to Daddy

He's got such long legs

Différent de l'araignée dont le thorax et l'abdomen sont segmentés, cet arachnide voit ces deux sections réunies en un seul morceau. Il se distingue aussi de l'araignée par un nombre inférieur de yeux (deux), par son incapacité à tisser une toile et par son absence de glande à venin. Il est totalement inoffensif pour l'homme.

Horn-Weberknechte sind große, robuste und langbeinige Weberknechte.

Die Kieferklauen der Männchen sind hornartig verlängert. Die Funktion dieser Hörner ist noch wohl noch nicht abschließend geklärt.

In spite of all appearances, and although this is an arachnid, it isn't a spider. It's a ' harvestman ' which is a species of opilionid, phylangium opilio. I hadn't seen one at all this year until yesterday, and they used to be so common when I was a child. They are in fact nocturnal so this one was dozing the day away on a flag iris leaf. As it was very hot yesterday, I do hope it didn't get fried.

I appreciate all the visits, and kind comments!!!!I
