thank you for explaining, now if only I could find the i.d. as to which harvestmen this is...

They are in a different "order" but are in the same class (Arachnida) but these levels are not used as groups for invertebrates. However both are in the PN group or phylum Arthropoda :-)

Thank you, for some reason I always thought that they looked like spiders but heard they weren't and were in a class of their own.
