RE: Steemit Photo Challenge #15 - Hey Spider, Where Is Your Web? (Too Late Entry)
I'm not a 100% on this but the reason it might not have a web is because it's a harvestmen. They are arachnids but not spiders. Nice shot though.
By the way, you should still enter the food photo challenge. You can get creative with food in its natural state. Maybe something off the vine? Sometimes it's not the subject, it's how you compose it.
Thank you very much for this short lesson. How do you tell apart spiders and arachnids?
Actually, there were some threads but no real net. Now I know why.
Spiders and harvestmen are both types of arachnids. They are just in a different order under the animal kingdom tree. The two body parts (head and abdomen) of spiders are well defined but with harvestmen they are bloadly attached to where it looks like one body part. Harvestmen can't create webs and are non-venomous.
Thanks a lot. I will remember it.
