leiobunum vittatum
The Eastern Harvestman is a tiny, spider-like creature that loves to roam around at night! With its long legs and small body, it can fit into tight spaces and is great at hiding.
Hábitat: Eastern Harvestmen can be found in forests, fields, and gardens, often hiding under leaves and logs.
The Eastern Harvestman has a small, oval, yellowish-brown body and eight extremely long, thin, almost translucent legs. Unlike spiders, its body appears as a single segment, giving it a compact, often dome-like appearance.
