    It looks like such a beast and yet is victim to mites. Posted 3 years ago

      Yep! When you see these large harvestmen move, it comes across as pretty slow. Mobility is quite limited and they can only attack frontally. I would imagine they are mostly ambush hunters, not agile chasers. Posted 3 years ago
