Description
A 'daddy longlegs' among asters. Although cellar spiders are also referred to as daddy longlegs, what you see here is a 'harvestman', an arachnid but not a spider (order: Opiliones). Unlike spiders, these guys have only 2 eyes (which are observing you, right now. See 'em?). All kinds of fascinating info on the web (no pun intended) about these versatile, harmless to humans, and very delicate, critters. What are you waiting for?
