made me suspect the wedge shaped beetles and according to one of our local entomology experts andras szito i was right unfortunately as he says there is no one specialised in ripiphorids in australia and the last revision on a subfamily out of 5 published in 1955 if i remember correctly further most of the ripiphorid beetles are parasites of various wasps adult females laying their eggs on flowers and the emerging young larva will grab a wasp s leg and the wasp will take it to her nest in the nest the wedge shape beetle larva will feed on the wasp s larva jul 31 2026 58 notes artifacts and arthropods daddy long legs unlike spiders these arachnids can eat solid food and they have an omnivorous diet that includes mushrooms berries and seeds along with invertebrate prey harvestmen otherwise known as daddy long legs not to be confused with the cellar spiders of family pholcidae which are also described as daddy long legs bear a striking resemblance to spiders but they actually belong to a separate order of arachnids known as opiliones these strange looking creatures have eight legs but only two eyes and their body segments are largely fused together giving the body a noticeably rounded pill like appearance above metagryne bicolumnata commonly known as the bunny harvestman there are roughly 6 700 known species of harvestman but researchers estimate that a total of more than 10 000 species may currently exist their physical features vary greatly from one species to the next some harvestmen have crab like claws spikes thorny legs elongated bodies colorful features or cryptic markings most of them are equipped with long spindly legs but there are some that have shorter stockier limbs instead above megabunus diadema and two unidentified species from family sclerosomatidae unlike spiders harvestmen have an omnivorous diet that includes fungi fruit pulp seeds pollen lichen algae and invertebrate prey and they are capable of consuming solid food whereas spiders are typically carnivorous and feed only on fluids above a harvestman from genus chasenella munching on a mushroom cap as this ar ticle explains harvestmen consume mushrooms fruit pulp seeds and seed appendages more frequently than spiders probably because they are solid food feeders which means they can ingest solid tissues by biting off small pieces in turn spiders are fluid feeders and feed on vegetable matter most frequently in the form of fluids e g nectar stigmatic exudate plant sap and honey dew rather than fungal or plant tissues above genus marthana when given a choice between fresh fruit or invertebrate prey some harvestmen actually prefer the fruit schaus et al carried out a feeding trial in which the neotropical harvestman erginulus clavotibialis was given a choice between fresh pineapple and live invertebrate prey this harvestman demonstrated a distinct preference for fruit over the invertebrate prey above dentobunus quadridentatus harvestmen are also much more social than spiders and the males of some species have been known to engage in paternal care which is a trait that rarely occurs among arthropods single fatherhood is the rarest form of parental care in nature still males are often the sole caretakers of progeny among a number of species of daddy long legs also known as harvestmen in these species fathers are exclusively responsible for guarding eggs that females lay on the undersides of leaves the males remain on the eggs nearly constantly for months above several harvestman eggs and a young hatchling when threatened harvestmen often bob up and down erratically in an effort to confuse their attackers they also have several other defense mechanisms including pungent foul tasting secretions the ability to play dead and autotomy which is the ability to discard one or more of their own limbs in order to escape from predators above the photo at the top shows an unidentified harvestman from family cosmetidae while the photo on the bottom shows a species from genus gnomulus harvestmen are completely harmless to humans their mouthparts are far too small to penetrate human skin and contrary to popular belief they do not have the world s deadliest venom in fact they don t produce any venom at all above genus obidosus sources more info bioone fungus and fruit consumption by harvestmen and spiders the vegetarian side of two predominantly predaceous arachnid groups laboratory of arthropod behavior and evolution harvestmen argo biology citizen science reveals how devoted harvestman dads evolved again and again nbc daddy long legs paternal care pays off in longer life more sex plos one paternal care decreases foraging activity but does not impose survival costs to caring males in a neotropical arachnid gulo
