Hi Stuart, this is certainly not Phalangium opilio (current ID). I'm not entirely confident for lack of knowledge of the Greek Opilionid fauna, but it looks a lot like a male Opilio parietinus. I'll change the ID to that for now. Cheers, Arp Posted 6 years ago

  Hi there, thank you for looking into this for me, I'll review the 2 species and see where I went wrong. Posted 6 years ago

The Opilio parietinus

''Opilio parietinus'' is a species of harvestman. It is found in Europe and North America.

It is similar to ''O. canestrinii'', but has dark spots on its coxae, and is generally more of a grayish green color. Like ''O. canestrini'' it was often found on house walls in central Europe, but has by now almost everywhere been replaced by this invasive species.
