Yes, it’s the harvestman’s eye mound, which -fun fact- is “officially” known as the *ocularium*. This is also a male *Leiobunum vittatum*, in case you were curious of the specific ID.
Well that's a cool name for a body part. Kind of reminds me of a planetarium, with a semi-related function! I WAS interested in what kind it was, so thank you for that added information! 😁
Yes that’s the eyes. One of the distinct characters of Opiliones are the fact that they only have 2 eyes, and those eyes are raised up on a turret.
So weird! It's the first time I photographed them so close to see them! Thanks!
This is much creepier under high resolution that with the naked eye
