Not the Same - _TNY_1984

When you find two on the same kind of animal close to one another, it is easy to make the assumption that they must be the same species.

 

This time, while searching through the fire-damaged pines between lake Långsjön and lake Svarsjön in the Paradiset nature reserve it turned out to be two different species. Here a European harvestman (Phalangium opilio), also known as the common harvestman, and right next to it a spring harvestman here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52626570340/
