So, can anyone help with identifying this for me please? Found it at home (midland’s, UK). #inverts #invertebrates @gail

@pauljnorris @gail Huh. Not a spider or parasite (to my eyes), but definitely an arachnid. Maybe something from the Ricinulei order? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricinulei
@gail @arctangent it really is a beauty. Me and my boys love it.
@arctangent @pauljnorris It’s a harvestman - order Opiliones (class Arachnida). It has a fused cephalothorax, and one pair of eyes. A lovely beast!
