Thank you for the ID, Mark Ridgway and Sigg. It looks like it is a harvestman opiliones, Vonones ornata. I am not sure how to edit the spotting, please correct me if I did not do it correctly.

Thank you, Mark Ridgway, the Link has 2 and one of them looks very much like my picture, too bad there are no names on them. (or any of his lovely Costa Rica'n finds) I will check Opilione, harvestman.
