I moved a bowl of air plants and woke up a harvestman. With those long, long legs separating it from the plant, it looks as if it were just floating along in the air, bouncing as it goes.

| In reflected sunlight, it's two-toned; cream and brown. |

| Knees up! |
The bits of silk on its legs must be spider web remnants; harvestmen don't produce silk.

Levanté unas plantas del aire y desperté un opilión (también se conocen como segadores o arañas de patas largas, aunque no son arañas). Con esas patas tan largas que lo mantienen separado del sustrato, parece que flotan en el aire, rebotando al caminar.
En la luz reflejada del sol, se ven sus colores; crema y café claro, con una mancha negra,
La seda que se ve en sus patas aquí será restos de una telaraña; los opiliones no producen seda, ni construyen telarañas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
