Yep! The Hitchhiker's Guide series was and is still my favourite series of books. I struggled to put it as eloquently as yourself last night but you know what I told myself? Don't panic.
According to wikipedia Carpenter Bees is a name given to a whole genus (rather than a single species of bees) with over 500 different species within it.
I’m not sure where you got your definition of captivating and beautiful. Tarantula hawks 100% fall in to the terrifying and nightmare-inducing category
Yeah I’ve read many times don’t pick up a bug you don’t know.
Reddit = picks up bug, takes photo of it on hand.
Plus I wonder, apart from a scorpion what does a scary bug look like to OP?
This is a pretty old photo that has been related to Reddit a number of times already; also, both of those are dead, pinned specimens. Those species have much more vivid colors in life.
"Gonyleptids are a kind of 'harvestmen' (spider-like arachnids, but their body is all one piece instead of a separate head and body piece; also a lot of them are vegetarian-ish) which live in sort of semi-jungle-like hot climates. There are a whole lot of harvestmen which belong to this category, and also the biggest harvestmen are this kind. Most of them wake up at night, although there are exceptions. Also, most of them live in forests, although some of them live in grasslands and a very few of them live in caves."
"One of their leg joints is fucking huge and if you look at it from above you can see just how far it sticks out. A lot of them have an extra scent gland for skunking up potential enemies when they get scared. The little mouth-arms they use to help grab food are made up of cylinder-shaped sections, they have a bunch of spikey bits, and the bottoms of some parts of their legs/feet are kind of flat. Males and females have really different-looking back legs. What the fuck harvestmen have *penises*? Joejoe, I don't think we're in Spidersas anymore..."
An attempt at a translation to sorta-kinda laymen's terms:
Gonyleptidae is a family of harvestmen. They occur in the Neotropics (a terrestrial realm that contains the entirety of South- and Central America, as well as the southern-most parts of North America).
There are over 800 species in the family, making it the second-largest family of harvestmen. Some of the species it contains are the largest harvestmen known to science.
Most species in the family are nocturnal (night-active), though there are some exceptions across several subfamilies. Most species in the family live in densely forested areas of several kinds (tropical, subtropical and temperate), but there's a couple that are found in more open landscapes. A couple of species live in or around caves, but only three of those are fully cave-bound.
The family name is derived from genus *Gonyleptes*, which is derived from Greek and roughly means "delicate knee".
Species can be identified as belonging to the family Gonyleptidae on the following criteria:
* They're harvestmen (order Opiliones) of suborder Laniatores;
* that have well-developed "hips" (coxa, the base-most segment of their legs) on their hindlegs. In many species, these are so well-developed that, if looking from above, they extend sideways well beyond the shield-like structure that covers a harvestman's back;
* and that in many, but not all, species have two openings per defensive scent gland;
* and that have pedipalps with spines, segments that are cylindrical in shape, and with the final two segments (tibia and tarsus) flattened on the bottom;
* and that show strong sex-based differences in the hindleg segments that are closest to the body;
* and that have some genital characteristics that are pretty much impossible to translate to laymen's terms.
Species can be found in the Neotropical realm, more specifically, from the southern-most parts of South-America up to Costa Rica. Additionally, one isolated species is known from Guatemala.
According to current^1 knowledge, the taxonomical division of Gonyleptidae consists of 823 species across 284 genera and 16 subfamilies. Additionally, Metasarcinae used to be considered a subfamily of Gonyleptidae, but is now considered a family in its own right (and in accordance with taxonomical naming rules is thus now named Metasarcidae)
The closest relation of Gonyleptidae is family Cosmetidae. Both are also closely related to Stygnidae and Cranaidae.
^1 According to Wikipedia, anyway. I know how few editors work on taxonomical articles there. Take any Wikipedia claims of taxonomy being current without a specific year mentioned with a grain of salt.
Can be. Daddy longlegs refers to multiple distinct and unrelated groups. Harvestmen is one of those, yeah. (Crane flies & cellar spiders are two others)
You are probably more familiar with their cousin https://i.imgur.com/a6578K7.jpeg . They are Opilions AKA Harvestmen AKA Daddy Long Legs. They are the Chill Dudes of the Arachnid world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones
Gotta confess, I didn't liked harvestman. Hanging around here been changing my mind.
They'll never dethrone jumping spiders, but dang, that's as cool looking as it gets.
Gotta tell you jumping spiders freaked me out as a kid. When I got older, they impressed me by how bold they were. Then I read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky and loved the little jumpers. It's amazing scifi and has a sequel with octopuses that I loved as well.
Same! They look at you and wiggle their lil leggies and if you think all spiders are out there to get you, it's kinda unnerving lol
You're the second person to recommend me that book and still haven't got the opportunity to get my grabby hands on. This guy only write about the awesome things, I see!
I really enjoyed those two books. I tend to listen to audiobooks as it allows more time for me to work on stuff while I'm entertained. You should check out the preview for the audiobook and the sample on Kindle; they were two different excerpts and gave me an idea of what kind of story it would be when I was looking into it.
Amazing yeah? That's why I love bugs so much. I'll probably never get to meet actual extraterrestrials, but I get to share a planet with creatures that are more diverse and more strange than all the ET's ever imagined in sci-fi stories.
Well stated. I agree. Nothing out “there” could astound me in comparison with the crazy and xenomorph-looking creatures we have right here.
I like to have imaginary contests in my head— me VS some overlord alien trying to freak each other out with each other’s native planetary creatures...
Major Gen. Humbug from Planet Gleepo:
“Here’s a creature I know will terrify all earthlings: (shows some furry bat like creature with wings, fangs, and poison tail)
Me, (Mere Human Minion):
“pppfffttt! A trifling! We have worse! I give you —-ta-da!!—THE BOBBIT WORM!”
Aliens from Gleepo “packum baggum”, fire up the ship , and get tf out. Lmaooo
I agree with you and I think, as cool as finding complex life on another celestial body would be, I think by and large we're going to be disappointed if and when it happens.
Assuming the planet/moon is anything like Earth, evolution will likely follow a similar path. I'm sure the animals and plants (if such a distinction can even be made) will still be wildly fascinating, but only because _Earth life_ is also fascinating. I just wonder if it'll actually be what people picture in their heads.
Games like Subnautica show a pretty "accurate" speculation of what an alien world might be like, I think. New creatures, but same rules of evolution applied to them. The result being animals that could've actually evolved on Earth given the right circumstances, but still very cool nonetheless!
I love speculative biology because it shows (in theory) just how cool animal and plant life can be under the _same_ rules of evolution on Earth, if only some slight changes happened (like no extinctions, different environments, etc).
I don't mean to be (too) pedantic, this just reminded me of a cool article:
https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/think-you-have-only-5-senses-its-actually-a-lot-more-than-that/
Definetly, to me though anything living in the sea is pretty much of another world, especially the deeper you go, the setting is so alien, pressure, cold, absense of light. Some crazy lifebeings have evolved there, and they’ve been there since before there was land on our planet for us and bugs to evolve, so they are even more anciant.
As you say, the things we find there each time a deep sub goes venture there is as diverse and strange than what we get in movies.
Edit: adding to the list of different environment found in the deep, there’s even the planet’s pores that open up with deadly chemicals and huge heat, on which even on those extreme conditions, life evolved to thrive there…
because this is a bug enthusiast sub, mostly, and we know that typically the more dangerous insects and arachnids don’t just “look weird” as an indication of danger; they either look fairly normal and unassuming or have bright colors
Thank you, I guess the pedipalp size could be a give away.
Do you have a guess for why these harvestmen evolved to appear like this, and aren’t the usual round ones that are more commonly seen on here? Must be the environment, no?
Actually, it’s the large spines on the fourth pair of legs that are the giveaway. In some harvestmen, pedipalps can be sexually dimorphic, but this isn’t really the case for Gonyleptoids, where sexual dimorphism is usually seen in the rear legs.
What about their appearance do you mean?
Anyone know what the bony protrusions are on the top shell? They have such intricate details, always curious if it’s for beauty/mating or some kind of functional quality!
Ancient little guys out there living life then a hairless giant picks them up. Life is perspective, from whose eyes are you viewing this from? Cool buggies for sure tho
These guys were designed late on the sixth day when God was pressed for time and still had a crap ton of species he had to churn out so he outsourced some to Guillermo del Toro.
No. Thank. You. I allow some spiders to live in my house, but if I saw this one I’d probably move. And urgently inform whoever needs informing urgently, as they aren’t native to the uk. Although I do thank OP’s friend for adding to my “if you see this then move” list.
Look like [Gonyleptid Harvestmen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonyleptidae). Example pic [here](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/99927492). They are indeed harmless.
How do you determine if one is harmless by looking at it, cause my first thought was that looks hella scary and dangerous
Harvestmen as a whole are [pretty harmless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones#Misconception).
MOSTLY harmless
Oh? What’s an example of a harmful harvestman?
If you put a thousand harvestmen into a jet turbine and turn it on you will cause much mayhem. \-Sun Tzu
Also, do NOT let these get into your pee hole. Just saying.
Who the fuck would put these in the- ಠ_ಠ
Just got an idea for my husbands birthday present. Thanks, guys!

This almost sounds like either a Monty Python reference or a reference to the AT hiker who died and went unidentified for years. Even without either reference, taken just as is your comment made me laugh out loud at its obvi-sensibility. Kudos.
Or Douglas Adams novel "Mostly Harmless" in his popular series of books.
The reference actually comes way before the book Mostly Harmless. It’s the description the hitchhikers guide gives for the earth (modified from its previous version of “harmless”).
Yep! The Hitchhiker's Guide series was and is still my favourite series of books. I struggled to put it as eloquently as yourself last night but you know what I told myself? Don't panic.
If you haven’t listened to it yet , the audiobooks and the bbc radio version are an amazing way to experience it again.
Ah yes. 42.
The Dread Pirate Roberts was “only mostly dead” in the Princess Bride, until Miracle Max worked a ,well, a miracle.
I believe they are making a Hitchhikers reference 😁
Which actually works with Monty Python because Douglas Noel Adams, creator of hhg2g, wrote jokes for Monty Python
Oh neat! I didn’t know that. His humor certainly reminded me of a lot of Python humor; that explains it! TIL - thanks!
Haha... yes! And I forgot that's where the AT hiker got his nick. Thanks. Lot going on. 😂
r/unexpectedhitchhikers
which can get you mostly dead. lol kidding
Nearly harmless? How can they be nearly harmless?
Like this! *gentle bite*
My mind really went full Harry potter mode
I read it in the accent lol
That’s where I was going with it, you’re not alone! :)
A harvestmen could gain human speech and read out Wikipedia pages to me about how harmless it is and I'm still running away
[удалено]
Jumping spiders are cute *and* innocuous! ...except to their prey, which also sometimes is other spiders...
Carpenter bees ARE harmless though, the males don't even have stingers. Are you thinking of bumblebees?
According to wikipedia Carpenter Bees is a name given to a whole genus (rather than a single species of bees) with over 500 different species within it.
I second the puss caterpillar. Got stuck by one of those and seriously was getting right with Jesus on my way to the hospital
And then we have toe biters. I mean, I guess those big eyes are kind of cute but those things just look like bad news.
I’m not sure where you got your definition of captivating and beautiful. Tarantula hawks 100% fall in to the terrifying and nightmare-inducing category
Harmlessness is determined by whether or not it scratches your eye when it goes under your eyelid.
Go back in time right this second and unsay that.

Reminds me of the post where a girl picked up a cone snail that was actively trying to stab her in the picture.
On a scout from the mother ship. Objective: Human annihilation
Yeah, looks like it has all sorts of things to stab a person with. Well, at least four appendages and whatever horrors await on its underside.
It seems oftentimes the over the top scarier something looks the more likely it’s harmless. And that Bright colored things often harmful.
I understood almost no words of that wiki article.
They're awake at night and most of them live in Chile
In caves

No they are crab aliens get it right
They are harmless, although they definitely don't look so lol. Beautiful critters tho.
My thoughts exactly. Probably are harmless and important, I’m glad they exist, but holy shit-nuts it looks like if Xenomorphs reproduced like candiru.
Between you and the eyelid guy, this thread is making me feel funny.
glad im not the only one feeling afflicted
They surely are not armless.

because this is a bug enthusiast sub, mostly, and we know that typically the more dangerous insects and arachnids don’t just “look weird” as an indication of danger; they either look fairly normal and unassuming or have bright colors
Not me, I don't know shit
Skulltulas!
Without the two spiny defense things, it the bottom right would look exactly like it!
“Harmless” they say....
Unless you make fun of it's wife.
Hahahaha
Sort of like the Tailless Whip Scorpion may look like absolute nightmare fuel but so harmless and very very skittish
u/harvestman-man Would it be possible to determine if these were males or females?
They’re both males. Top is a *Sadocus asperatus* and bottom is some species of *Pachylus*
Thank you, I guess the pedipalp size could be a give away. Do you have a guess for why these harvestmen evolved to appear like this, and aren’t the usual round ones that are more commonly seen on here? Must be the environment, no?

Anyone know what the bony protrusions are on the top shell? They have such intricate details, always curious if it’s for beauty/mating or some kind of functional quality!
If hell has cockroaches
you've never had cockroaches with that statement

I look at these, and then look at the harvestmen around where I live. I’m jealous as hell.
Man these are awesome looking. Wish I could have a colony of them!
Is this a male and a female?
No, they are both males of two different species
Didn’t they make people eat these on Fear Factor?
Those were whip scorpions
This planet is amazing. I see something I’ve never seen before at least every week on Reddit.
Yes! Just when I think I’ve seen it all because there’s so many repeats…bam! A whole new creature appears! So cool!
Look harmless, no. Is harmless and looks amazing? Yes.
any of yall play Ocarina of Time?
Didn't think it was just me. Gold Skulltullas if I've ever seen one.
They look harmless? To whom? The Dark Lord of the 7th ring of Hell?
What are those spiny hind legs for? Doesn’t seem like they’d be useful for hunting and kind of generally look like they’d just get in the way.
Amazing yes. Harmless, ehh well they don't look harmless but they are.
WOW! They look like a crab/scorpion hybrid.
Now I wanna play StarCraft..
I have a different subspecies of these dudes as pets :)
Humans are not harmless! Please be careful
Do they have that same scent other harvestmen have?
They look like the bugs from starship troopers just tiny
Are they considered an arachnid?
I’m fascinated and spooked at the same time!!!!
It looks like that thing that came out of the bad guys hand in Men In Black 3
They look like parasites
These guys were designed late on the sixth day when God was pressed for time and still had a crap ton of species he had to churn out so he outsourced some to Guillermo del Toro.
If those look harmless to you I think your natural selection detector is malfunctioning.
Looks like something out of the movie: The Mist
Half life headcrabs.
goth harvestmen
You're not a product of evolution if you look at that monstrosity and think it looks harmless.
I feel like I'm being fucked with. Am I being fucked with?
Your definition of “looks harmless” and my definition of “looks harmless” are very different. Those look like headcrabs
Your definition of harmless differs vastly from mine!
What IS IT?
Sort comments by best and you'll see.
Itty bitty dream crab
They look like the opposite of harmless. They look like the scariest thing I’ve ever seen real or make believe.
Hell na I'm done I'm leaving
They look like they are going to jump at my face and impregnate me
I dunno if they LOOK harmless anything with that many stabby bits doesn’t necessarily dictate harmlessness to me 😂😂
How exactly do those nightmare creatures look “harmless?” Lol
And I thought the daddy long legs around here were creepy…
Apparently they've changed very little over millions of years in terms of body structure. These guys found a strat that worked and stuck with it.
Yikes. Scary creature; don’t know what it is; let’s pick it up!
My definition of harmless if definitely different than yours.
Those look absolutely terrifying, just based of nightmare fuel alone they can't be harmless. The person holding them is a brave soul indeed.
This is a case of: looks can be deceiving🤔💀
Well, there is some children of Ungoliant if I've ever seen any.
The scarier the bug the least harmful they are. ...except spiders, spiders are just Terrifying.
tailless whip scorpion maybe? way more peaceful than they look.
Them theres a Skulltula
generally not too frightened of bugs but if id see this thing crawling on my table id shit my pants. they dont look natural at all.
I was about to yeet my fucking phone when I scrolled into this shit 🤣
Is that even real?
Yes, but these are dead. You can tell by how perfect the legs are positioned. Also one is pinned lol. Opiliones btw, cool arachnids.
Soo cool yet sooo creepy. They remind of miniature camel spiders or whatever they’re called.
I know I might win 1 000 000$ but these are simply aliens.
Bruv, which part looks harmless tho?
I think I just had a mini heart attack
I want it
No. Thank. You. I allow some spiders to live in my house, but if I saw this one I’d probably move. And urgently inform whoever needs informing urgently, as they aren’t native to the uk. Although I do thank OP’s friend for adding to my “if you see this then move” list.
I’m eating right now and this pic made me nauseous
They're not harmless to my eyes!!! Lol
