Not a spider! This may look like a spider but in fact it is a
Horn-palped harvestmen (Phalangium opilio). It belongs to
the 'arachnids' - the family spiders are in, but unlike spiders it
has just one part to its body - spiders always have two parts.
This great photo demonstrates this beautifully and is by
