Field Notes

Notes:

I'm not sure what species this is, but I found it in a warm damp place outside. According to Wikipedia there are a few thousand species of these.

This is titled Daddy Long Legs, however I do not believe this to be a daddy long leg. This looks similar to a common spider I've spotted in my home and other places on multiple occasions, though probably a different variant of the species. I'm unsure of it's identification. Daddy Long legs are actually not a spider, but a harvester, which is a group within the arachnid family. Harvesters only have one body segment, like the Daddy Long Leg. Spiders have two, which this appears to have. Interesting designs on the lower half. Nice.
