It’s really interesting for me to take a look at the “small-world” through my macro-lens, a Minolta 50mm, 2,8. Isn’t it stunning, this black eyed, eight legged creature? For those, who are interested, here a small biology-lesson:
Opiliones are an order of arachnids commonly known as harvestmen. Over 6,400 species of harvestmen have been discovered worldwide, although the real number of extant species may exceed 10,000. Well-preserved fossils have been found in the 400-million year old Rhynie cherts of Scotland, which look surprisingly modern, indicating that the basic structure of the harvestmen has not changed much since then.
Although they belong to the class of arachnids, harvestmen are not spiders, which are of the order Araneae rather than the order Opiliones.
In some places, harvestmen are known by the name "daddy longlegs" or "granddaddy longlegs", but this name is also used for two other unrelated arthropods: the crane fly (Tipulidae) and the cellar spider (Pholcidae).
These arachnids are known for their exceptionally long walking legs. The difference between harvestmen and spiders is that in harvestmen the two main body sections are broadly joined, so that they appear to be one oval structure; they also have no venom or silk glands.The second pair of legs are longer than the others and work as antennae. This can be hard to see in short-legged species. The feeding apparatus differs from other arachnids in that ingestion is not restricted to liquid, but chunks of food can be taken in.
They have a single pair of eyes in the middle of their heads, oriented sideways.
