A little harvestman sits at the center of a fiddlehead's spiral, like a minotaur at the center of a maze.

Is it true that opiliones are almost blind?
(In Japan they are called 座頭虫~zatou-mushi)
The shelter of the soft ferns is a fascinating place.
The round, cute eyes of the opiliones in that picture do indeed seem to be looking at us.
(Your posts are so interesting that I end up commenting every time, Sorry if I'm a nuisance.)
If they are shy, long limbs are very useful.
And I was glad to see some close-ups of the ferns in their curly, fluffy state in this photo.
I thought itwas a shy and attractive photo that still hides the fact that they are fractal in structure.
Thank you always! 😊🌿

Thanks! I always enjoy your comments.
As far as I know, opiliones can see. They do seem to watch when I'm trying to take pictures of them.
I've also noticed that they sometimes seem to position their legs so that their eyes are hidden. (maybe for camouflage purposes? or maybe they're shy?)
