Genus MetarthrodesObserver
henrymillerstranzDescription
Opilião encontrado em folhas de bambu (Guadua tagoara) numa área de floresta ombrófila densa secundária mas em bom estado de regeneração.
Achei-o muito diferente de Metarthrodes longipes, espécie que estou habituado. Acredito ser outra espécie ou talvez até outro gênero dentro de Caelopyginae.
O indivíduo da imagem, infelizmente, morreu durante o transporte

Goniosoma variumObserver
henrymillerstranzDescription
Opilião encontrado numa larga bromélia a cerca de 1 metro e meio do solo em área de manguezal.
Ambiente com certa perturbação humana, mas ainda em ótimo estado de conservação (ainda mais se comparado aos demais manguezais super fragmentados do município de Ubatuba).

These harvestmen were really interesting! 2 individuals under a log in mud, and not just muddy as the were a very different colour to the surrounding mud.

Espécie endêmica da região e relativamente frequente na vegetação ciliar de riachos encachoeirados nas encostas íngremes da Serra do Mar, sendo mais raramente encontrado em vegetação herbácea em áreas de brejos e alagados.

Um dos meus opiliões favoritos :)
Este espécime foi encontrado na vegetação arbustiva a 1 metro do solo após fortes chuvas, possivelmente se refugiando da água que varria a serapilheira por conta da chuva

4 individuals found, 3 under deeply imbedded mudstone (?) rock and the other found under a log. 3 specimens collected.
@Sclerobunus any thoughts?
seems like another one of those apparently sightless species similar to: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/111079913

I have a "bog barrel" (half whiskey barrel, peaty soil, no drainage) where I tried out a few Venus flytraps. One morning, I was greeted by this gently waving daddy longlegs bouquet. This curious arachnid just had to see what was in the trap. I was amazed that my little flytrap could catch something so large. (I also felt bad for the longlegs, so I carefully released it. It skittered off, hopefully having learned its lesson).
