True spiders have a 2-segmented body (i.e. they have a waist). Just Google harvestman and you'll find all kind of cool info. (Like this tidbit: "They eat a wide variety of animal food, both dead and alive, as well as vegetable matter and juices."

Wait until one has been sitting still for a while (<i>not</i> while they're busily burrowing for pollen)and just put your finger on the yellow fuzz on their backs. If an insect could be said to enjoy something, they seem to enjoy this. Bumblebees seem to be pretty laid back about life anyhow; the only Bumblebee sting I've ever personally heard of was my sister, who had been eating one of those candy lipsticks when we were kids. The Bumble flew in her mouth chasing the sweetness, and Sue closed her mouth on it in panic, so naturally it stung. But that's the <i>only</i> incident I've ever heard of.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981450248684029870.post-84571878677015721092009-06-10T08:48:09.046-04:002009-06-10T08:48:09.046-04:00Definitely nice shots, Kelly.
