Harvestmen

Harvestmen are arachnids that belong to the order Opiliones. They are commonly known as daddy longlegs and are characterized by their long, thin legs and compact bodies. Harvestmen are not spiders, as they only have one body segment and do not produce silk. They are found worldwide in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and caves. Harvestmen are primarily scavengers, feeding on decaying plant and animal matter, but some species are also known to be predators. These arachnids play a crucial role in ecosystems by helping to break down organic material and recycle nutrients.
