Hi, this is an Opilione. It is a different type of arachnid than spiders are. I don’t know the taxonomy any more specifically, we specialize in spiders. Opiliones differ from spiders in the way they ingest food and that they have all their organs contained in a single segment of exoskeleton. Spiders have two segments with a short tube between them connecting the systems.
