    Yes, one of the Harvestmen as we call them. Opiliones to use the correct term.

    Roughly similar to spiders but they have a rigid body; not articulated between thorax and abdomen like true spiders.

    Those very long legs look like one of the Leiobunum species which we find here.

    Always tricky to get everything in focus so this has worked well.

    Using the correct term is good, learning it is even better! thanks.
