Opiliones sp - Harvestmen?

[wilippa]

I know they're not true spiders but does anyone have any knowledge about Opiliones sp - commonly known as a harvestman. My partner was moving some cut logs in the garden yesterday and I found a creature I initially thought was a spider. When I looked closer I saw that the body appeared unsegmented. Hence, my second thought was it was a harvestman. But the legs were rather short. I was under the impression opiliones sp all had long spindly legs.
I wasn't able to get a photo as it hid in a crevice in the log. However, if it helps at all it was a mottled brown colour all over.

Harvestmen come in a variety of designs and with legs ranging from over 50 mm to under 15 mm. And even less in the Trogulus species, etc.

While, as their name suggests, they are mostly associated with late summer/autumn there are some around now. And one that I regularly find in my garden is Paroligolophus agrestis which has a maximum leg length of 20 mm.

Certainly looks like it could be that one. Thanks for your help!
