Harvestmen (courting)

Description:

I have never seen harvestmen courting or mating before, so I stopped to watch for a minute. They were moving around quite a bit, making photographs really tough, so I did the best I could. There were legs all over the place! :-)

Habitat:

Forest

Notes:

This spotting took place at Hobbs State Park.

Gives the term 'getting a leg over' new meaning. Great spotting Aaron.
