Harvestman on Marigold

Opiliones

This is possibly a female, does that make it a harvestwoman?

Although harvestmen are arachnids they are not spiders. They don't have a waist as spiders do, and they have only two eyes instead of eight. Furthermore, harvestmen don't have fangs and they don't produce silk. Some people call them Daddy Longlegs, which is not surprising because their legs are the most noticeable thing about them. If you look at in large you might just see its eyes. They are very close together top front.
