Close-up of a harvestman in Yorkshire, UK. Harvestmen are commonly mistaken for a spider – they have eight legs, two palps, and like spiders they are carnivorous, but the similarities end there. Harvestmen don’t spin webs and they aren’t venom producing. Spiders have two parts to their bodies but in the harvestmen, these two parts are fused together as one.
