This is another from my Sunday morning outing in Blendon Woods Park. In many backyards the most conspicuous “spider” isn’t a spider at all, but rather something related to the spiders, as are scorpions, ticks, mites, centipedes and millipedes.I believe these Daddy-longlegs are really called the Harvestman. There are, amazingly over 6,400 species of these harvestman. Many species are omnivorous, eating primarily small insects and all kinds of plant material and fungi; some are scavengers, feeding upon dead organisms, bird dung and other fecal material. Yuck!
