I think arachnids that aren't spiders scare me even more.

There’s no reason to be afraid of Opiliones. Their mouthparts are the wrong shape and too small to do harm to a human. Also, unlike spiders, there are no known Opiliones with venom. Their chelicerae are for grasping only.

Like sea spiders, which aren't even closely related s, but belong in the pycognids in the chilcerates, unusual because they respire through diffusion in their legs,

isnt a visually distinguishable division between the prosoma (head region) and opisthosoma (back region)

But... its head looks like a black bunny and its back looks like a greenish-yellow spider. Is that not a distinguishable division? 🤔 ^/s^

I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn't perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.

Same family as 'Daddy Long Legs'? From my colloquial knowledge they eat mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.

Is there a word for when something is both cute and terrifying?

All spiders are little mechs to me! Their legs are powered by hydraulics!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Yes, but do they have little bunnies piloting them? bun, bunhdthink

This is why Peni Parker is actually the most accurate spider-man

Which is honestly kind of freaky.

Can we standardize including info and/or better quality images when posting images with unusual/interesting animals, since this is the science based community?

It's just mimicking the easter bunny, so it came lay eggs all over your house.

Mfs have no respect for the work daddy long legs do to keep bugs away from us.

Looks like an AI created a Studio Ghibli spider.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

This is older than AI.
