Phalangium opilio
Light brown body with darker markings. Long thin legs. Resembles a spider. Feeds on soft bodied animals like aphids, leafhoppers, caterpillars and slugs.
Suburban backyard garden.
Invasive in North America. Common in disturbed areas. I have lived in places where these are prevalent but I don't see them frequently in my yard.
