Clean-up in Aisle Three, Pt 2 - _TNY_3725
I came across this one outside a neighbour's house where it was having a late night snack (at 01:45) in form of a dead ant.
This is an Opilio canestrinii harvestman and since those unlike spiders lack venom altogether, it most likely found the dead ant and claimed it.
Harvestmen don't just help clean up out in the open like this, they are actually known for picking stuff out of spider webs as well. Presubably the long reach enabled by those legs are helpful.
