Spider, Mayfly and Unknown Bug
Jun 27, 2023 15:42:55 #
All of these critters were found on my potato plants yesterday and today. I have no idea what type of spider this is, I am fairly sure the other is a Mayfly as it looks as if a trout would inhale it easily and the last bug I have never seen before. Hopefully someone can identify it.

Excellent set Dennis. Your first guy is a Harvestmen. It is related to spiders. Good to have in your garden. One difference is that spiders have 6-8 eyes whereas these guys have a raised area with only two.

Thank you Jack for your excellent comment. I am almost set up to tie some flies but haven't yet. Hopefully soon. Mayflies will definitely be on the menu.

Thank you Doc for stopping by and commenting. I have never heard of a Harvestman. Thank you for the information. He is still right there hopefully and doing whatever he does.
