Harvestman (Phalangidae)

Harvestmen spiders are the ones we generally call "Daddy long-legs", with their long spindly legs. Although Arachnids, they are not spiders. There are certain physical differences which distinguish these unusual creatures from the familiar spiders with their two-part body (these guys have a roundish body, undivided).

Wonderful perspective, composition and detail. I must look closer at ours, but I suspect this isn't the same Daddy Long-legs we have here.
