Oh my gosh, those are gorgeous! I love their coloring. So Halloween-y ? If you succeed in breeding them, please let me know! I'd love to buy some if you decide to sell any.
I thought the exact same when I first saw them; I immediately took a screenshot and labeled it "CRAZY HARVESTMAN"! ?
Heh, there are a surprising amount of completely unique-looking harvestmen. I'm surprised Opiliones don't get more attention.
Very, very true; there are some that mimic mites, have bright colors, robust, spiky, or porous-looking bodies, and even Amblypygi-esque raptorial arms! I have a feeling that people just tend to ignore everything that isn't of much use as a cleaner or feeder and isn't huge and flashy unfortunately. I've always been interested in these less noticed inverts though and hope to bring many new types of them into culture such as pseudoscorpions, unique springtails, earwigs, darkling beetles, and harvestman as they're definitely worthy of their place in the hobby as well.
