P. opilio have also been observed to take cover in low vegetation, like grass, during rain. Description. Like other harvestmen, P. opilio have long, slender legs and a short, round body. Adult P. opilio have a body length of 3.5–9 mm (1 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 8 in). Males tend to have smaller bodies than females, but have noticeably larger pedipalps ...

Feb 1, 2005 · Phalangium opilio incurred higher mortality, longer developmental periods, and smaller adult body size when fed a monotypic diet of A. glycines. Fecundity also was compromised when fed A. glycines . A mixed diet containing A. glycines caused some adverse effects on reproduction compared with the standard laboratory diet, which did not contain ...

Cyphophthalmi. This suborder contains five (or six) families and about 100 species. It is sister to all remaining Opiliones (the “Phalangida”). Cyphophthalmi are eyeless, live in deep moist leaf litter or caves, and range in size from 1 to 7 mm. The animals have a hardened plate covering the entire dorsal surface, and they resemble mites.
