Common harvestman - Phalangium opilio
Mejere er ikke edderkopper - selv om den har 8 ben - for de kan ikke lave spind, de har ingen gift og deres krop er ikke delt i en for- og en bagkrop.
Common harvestman
The Common harvestman is familiar to us as the large, spindly spider-like creature that frequents gardens and houses. It predates on smaller invertebrates which it catches using hooks on the ends of its legs.
Phalangium opilio is "the most widespread species of harvestman in the world", occurring natively in Europe, and much of Asia.
It is found in a wide range of habitats, including meadows, bogs, forests, and various types of anthropogenic habitats, such as gardens, fields, hedgerows, lawns, quarries, green places in built-up areas, walls and bridges. Phalangium opilio is known to feed on Helicoverpa zea eggs, and thus can act as biological pest control for soybean crops.
