Harvestmen

With their globular body and long thin legs, Harvestmen are unmistakable. Unlike true spiders, the body of a Harvestman consists of a single part rather than two. Many have very long legs and suspend their body low near the ground with their legs bent above them, thus forming a capital 'M' shape with the body at the central V of the M. Long legs allow them to span large distances between leaves and twigs as it climbs about vegetation.

Generally they are nocturnal and can be found hiding under ivy, amongst grass stems, and other vegetation, under stones, bark and logs and inside cool damp buildings like sheds.
