  Rosemary Jorna photographed a nice harvestman  in her Kemp Lake Road garden on April 21.  We are grateful tp Philip Bragg, who writes:  I cannot see in Rosemary’s very nice photograph all the details I would have liked to check but I am pretty sure that she has Paroligolophus agrestis.

This harvestman is active in the spring.


Probably Paroligolophus agrestis (Opi.: Phalangiidae)  Rosemary Jorna
