Harvestman

Harvest are not spiders, though they resemble them in many ways. They do not have fangs, are not venomous and do not bite. A harvest man will remove one of its own legs to distract predators. the removed leg can twitch for up to an hour, allowing the harvestman time to escape.This is what it looks like and like always thank you for your time.
