Harvestman on the wall

An emergency blip today as I've been busy all morning and away at work this afternoon. Saw this Harvestman on our wall outside so I thought to myself 'You'll do nicely!' Harvestmen are sometimes named as spiders when they aren't spiders at all! A spider has eight eyes whereas a harvestman only has two and spiders have two body segments and harvestmen have their head, thorax and abdomen all fused into one. Some people (particularly in America) call them 'Daddy Longlegs' but I tend to call craneflies that much more than harvestmen :)
