Field Notes

Description:

At first sight I thought the red ornamentations could be some fungus infection, I only confirmed it was part of these harvestmen after I encountered some more of this same species that night.

Habitat:

Atlantic rainforest

Thank you everyone @Ceejayalyssa, it's big, gonyleptids in general are. I don't have a picture with scale for this one but it's about the size of this Neosadocus: http://www.flickr.com/photos/95419048@N00/3500280249/in/photolist-6kiRnt-6vufXw-cb8hHm-6DVsaV-bQFfkt-9wwc3R-99Ppir-7tUqRb-9FdXV3-9Fb2DF-7tN5b5-9q8hav-7w3VoW-7yrU4q
