Hi, this is looks like an arachnid, but not a spider. Looks like a Harvestman (Opiliones) covered in parasitic mites (more arachnids).

Thanks! I saw one in the day and it had large pedipalps. It seemed like a lot of males looking for mates.

It’s mating time on the West Coast! Here’s something odd I just learned about Opiliones: they actually mate with their penises. if you’re wondering why that’s odd…..spiders don’t.
