Gonyleptid sp.
This is the strangest harvestman I've ever seen. Body about 9 mm long.
Rainforest
Thanks for your help João. I look forward to seeing more of your spottings!
Seems to be a gonyleptid, tough Cranaidae are similar in Ecuador and I'm not familiar with them. If you think that is strange I'll have to surprise you with some spottings later!
Haha, very true!
Maybe from an old Dr Who episode?
:-)
Zoidberg !! Yes- you got the ID!
Haha! I was wondering if this was the inspiration for a character from Futurama http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_John...
Did you offer it a tissue?
