Hi, this is an Opilione arachnid. Class Arachnida > Order Opiliones. Spiders are in Order Araneae. Opiliones don’t have fangs nor venom. They have one fused body segment instead of the two segments that spiders have. There are diverse and numerous opiliones in the West Coast. We specialize in Spiders do we don’t have the experience to identify opiliones more specifically.
Agreed… they are all over South Mountain right now. Very beautiful.
