| | | Re: Harvestman ID please I suspect this is one for Gordon to ponder over.
The slight reddish hue made me initially consider Paroligolophus agrestis but the ocularium appears to be a touch large and spiny so I am now thinking that an elderly Rilaena triangularis might be more likely.
Any idea of the leg lengths, particularly the second leg? Under or well over 20 mm?
But let's wait for Gordon to get a definite answer. |

| | | Re: Harvestman ID please Oligolophus tridens have the ocular spines, P. agrestis dont have them, well they do, but you need high magnification to see them. O. tridens also have there pedipalps covered in setae, which this has, the colouration can also be quite variable, so on this occasion i`m plumping for O. tridens  ... |
