| yeah lol. I think this belongs in the arachnid section though. I kinda want some now...although I'd probably be spending like 10 hours a day observing these intriguing creatures. Edit: found out they're harvestman...Opiliones. Strange, I could've sworn I saw a species of these at my house back in the day when we moved in...I was also creeped out by them and killed them I could definitely be wrong, but I saw a few of them hang around my backyard where there was dripping water. Found a nice thread about them on Arachnoboards: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=131820&page=2 Check out the pic of that giant one! | |
