Right about Laniatores, this one is a gonyleptid
ID at species level is hard for the lack of sources, at least online

At the forests its pretty easy to find some real big ones at night, there is even a report of one (Neosadocus maximus) eating a small treefrog

They really do look like crabs, specially with all those spikes on the big back legs. Did you click the link Vince posted above? They look a lot like that giant crab.
Hmm, I wonder what they taste like.

Ohh, I think I have a picture of one of these leggy brown little balls :)
I found one the size of my hand when I went to Shawnee Park last fall.
I’m going to make a post about it.

…if this kind of arachnids wasn’t cataloged, I would think its some sort of link between crab & a spider, sometimes they have patterns that reminds me some crustaceans like, an it seems you found a really curious & cool one here, anyway , I know I’m not bringing up nothing from ultra science here, but was looking up the content at your nice page, & wanted to leave a comment & say hi, have fun, take care! =)

Yeah, you have really strange and awesome opiliones there!! Here, in Europe, they’re all leggy brown little balls, always in the campings waiting for the leftovers of your dinner… ^___^

Amazing! It’s like a tiny little crab. Kind of reminds me of a tiny version of the biggest crab in the world!
