Appearance. The most notable features of P. opilio and many other harvestmen are the long, slender legs and short, globular body. Adult body length is approximately 3.5–9 mm, with males generally smaller than females. The upper surface of the body is colored with an indistinct and variable light gray or brown pattern, and the lower surface is ...

Feb 1, 2002 · Abstract. A 2-yr pitfall-trap study was conducted to examine the species composition of the Opiliones and the seasonal age-structure of Phalangium opilio (L.) in central Kentucky soybean, grassland, and alfalfa habitats. Phalangium opilio was the most commonly caught opilionid in all habitats, accounting for >90% of the adult specimens captured ...

Phalangium opilio is "the most widespread species of harvestman in the world", occurring natively in Europe, and much of Asia, and having been introduced to North America, North Africa and New Zealand.
Aug 4, 2021 · We assembled the first harvestman draft genome for the species Phalangium opilio, which bears elongate, prehensile appendages, made possible by numerous distal articles called tarsomeres. Here, we show that the genome of P. opilio exhibits a single Hox cluster and no evidence of WGD.
