Mite Harvestman - Opiliones

This Harvestman looks different from the more common Harvestman, with shorter and thicker legs.

Update : This is a Mite Harvestman from the sub-order Cyphophthalmi.
Possibly from the genus Sandokan sp.

  Thanks, Claire for the info :)
  It looks like they are not so common and we probably have no records of them at JD yet. Posted 7 years ago
