What is this? Found in ontario, around 1.5"DLS
Lol. I just research. I look for references that support that research, as well. Some things you read online aren't accurate. False information is posted more often than not. Check and double check....cross reference everything. Lol.
And when in doubt: wikipedia

So true, that's why this forum is straight up awesome and informative! I'm thankful to have serious enthusiasts such as yourself to answer my questions that Google sometimes cannot :)

We call these Harvestmen in the UK. I use to see them on the outside of my house usually underneath windowsills. Leg span wise they get quite big.
They don't produce venom but catch insects with little hooks on their legs. They don't spin silk and they can't regrow legs either.
In my days of rabid arachnophobia, I used to think they were weird spiders!! :D

When I was a kid, we lived in the country. They lived on my grandmothers house...usually gathered in groups.....i would play with them, lol. I'd let them crawl on my hands and catch them for a day...keep them as a pet, name them and turn them loose again. :) Very sweet creatures, they are.

Awww :) I like catching jumping spiders they are at another level of adorable! I love how they raise up their little front legs to get momentum to jump!
