Summary[edit]

Description

Black, white, beige, brown and dark brown coloring make this unique desert spider blend into its environment. The second set of legs from the front are much longer than the rest and provide sensory input to help evaluate the upcoming terrain.

Location: Anza-Borrego desert Date: April 23, 2017 6:02 am Season: spring Habitat: sandstone rock with eroded wind crevices Abundance: there were several of these climbing around the wind sculpted siltstone rock Coloration: designed to blend in with the course sand in the area

According to Daniel Marlos of <a href="https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2017/04/23/desert-harvestman/" rel="nofollow">What's That Bug?</a>, "this is a non-venomous Arachnid known as a Harvestman, and we believe it is a Desert Harvestman in the genus Eurybunus." <a href="https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2017/04/08/harvestmen-3/" rel="nofollow">Another variation</a> can be seen at <a href="https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2017/04/08/harvestmen-3/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>.
