Comments & ID Thoughts
Found this spider in my bathtub. It's the second one I found but this one was much larger than the first one. It kind of looks like a daddy long leg but I feel like the bodies too big. Please let me know. The photo isn't the best but it's body was about the length of a penny I think.

I think you’re correct that it is a Daddy Long Legs arachnid. They are also called Harvestmen. It only has one body segment. It’s class Arachnida, order Opiliones. There are some big ones on the West Coast. There are even purple, orange, and black and white striped ones. They look fake. I made that mistake the first time I tried to ID one. I’ll add a link to photos of cool ones.

Ok, that one was just freaky because it was eating a giant berry. https://bugguide.net/node/view/268336/bgimage This link is to one of the purple/ orange/ black / white Opiliones.
