I have removed this from the "International Spider Survey" missions as this is not a spider, it is a completely different order of arachnid
"my bad " is worse than a spelling mistake Atul ! :)
My bad ... thanks Leuba :)
Sure Thanks Leuba
Jordi, you need to change "harvetman" to "harvestman'. Atul has missed the "s".
Nice spotting !
Thanks Jae
I think it's a harvestmen (Opiliones) but I have no idea which species, JordiPrats.
