[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Opiliones are not real spiders, but resembles the spiders very much because they also have eight, sometimes very long, legs.

They belong to the class Arachnida like the spiders, ticks and mites, scorpions and pseudoscorpiones. 3500 known species are known. 27 live in Europe. This order can be divided in three families: Nemastomatidae, Phalangiidae and Trogulidae.

Harvestmen have an oval shaped body. The front and back of the body is grown together in contrast to spiders where the front and back end is separated by a stalk (pedicel).They have two eyes in the middle of their head looking sideways.

Opiliones do not possess poison glands but has instead glands that produce a stinky odor. They also have no silk glands.
They eat everything (omnivorous). They catch small insects or eat the decays of any dead animal, bird dung and all kind of plant material and fungi.

They are normally active during the night.
Copulation is, in contrast to the spiders, directly with a penis. There is no foreplay and the copulation is no longer than a few minutes and may be repeated several times.

Bonjour Servane,
Excellente Macro! Le focus est parfait sur l'abdomen et la profondeur de champ est très réussie car les pattes (surtout celles de derrière) sont hors foyer ce qui donne une impression 3D à cette photo.
Bien joué.
Amitiés,

Claude

bonjour servane
la note est particulierement interresante et la photo bien realisée,il ne reste plus qu'a persuader tout le monde de ne pas les ecraser systematiquement parce qu'elles ressemblent aux araignées.

Bonjour Servane, très jolie composition de cette araignée qui s'harmonise superbement avec son environnement. Bon piqué et bonne exposition. J'aurais fermé le diaphragme un peu plus pour améliorer le PDC. Du beau travail !
