Harvestman a shepherd of tea-garden
It was one of my spider expeditions in some hill area of above 7400 feet high from sea level in rainy season and I spotted this on a tree trunk thickly covered with green moss in a tree garden. The order name Opiliones comes from the Latin word opilio, which means shepherd. Harvestmen reminded earlier people of European shepherds who walked on stilts to get a good view of their flock. So they are sometimes referred to as shepherd spiders, though they aren't spiders!
