Opiliones
Please help to categorize this spider, found it in Commonwealth Forest Park & Resort. With the leg spread out to 4 cm length. Native in Malaysia's jungle.
Hi martinl, I think it's a Opiliones tradition to have 7 legs because most (90%+) of my harvestmen spottings have one leg missing.
You can see these phenomena in my spottings.
Hi martinl, sorry for the late reply. Big thanks for the great info. appreciate very much. hope we can keep in touch more check out my page https://www.facebook.com/getcoatv. Thanks again.
The group is called Opiliones and even though your specimen only has seven legs I think it still qualifies.
BTW its a nice photograph
This is not a spider but another (eight legged) arachnid called a harvestman. They have one body segment and spiders have two.
