The spider and the fly

garyt

Harvestman spider found moving around looking for shelter from the wind today.



And it looks like he found a hiding place that wasn't moving around so much, and hunkered down in the crevas of this rock.



Crane Fly (Tipula spp.) found resting in the shade out of the wind.

Gary when I saw your Harvestman I immediately thought of Crayfish
They really do look like crayfish with long skinny legs.

Great work ... Skippy

I have never seen a harvestman spider before--at least this "close-up". Thank you so much for posting. Great images!

They look so real
I would just squish them! Very sharp. I like the first one best because I cn pretend it's a sea creature instead of, yeck, spiders. The Spider and the Fly by Elf Power is awesome.
