Having looked at this one again, I'm now wondering if it isn't Phalangium opilio too?
I thought this one might be L ephippiatus because f the distinctive 3 pronged trident, but as you say it does seem to be an earlier species...

More harvestmen...
Any ideas on these Barry? I now think both id's are wrong, and I fear that not only do I need a better lens, but a better camera too!

Not sure about the first one but the second is worth checking for L. spinosus
ReplyDeleteThat should be Odiellus spinosus sorry
ReplyDeleteIt does look right for O spinosus, but I released them after taking the photos unfortunately, and I don't think the photos are good enough to reach a confident answer. I'll just have to go and look for some more!
