2020vision Arachnids Arthropods Flowers Heath Heathland Invertebrates Macro Purple Daddy Longlegs Harvestmen Opiliones

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this shot by Ross Hoddinott, we witness a moment of pure bliss for a Harvestman (Opiliones) on a bed of enchanting flowering heather at the Arne RSPB reserve. This charming arachnid seems to be relishing the vibrant purple hues and delicate blooms that surround it. With its long legs gracefully navigating through the heathland, this Daddy Longlegs is clearly enjoying its summer escapade. The picturesque landscape of Dorset, England sets the perfect stage for this delightful encounter between nature and macro photography. As part of the 2020VISION project, Hoddinott beautifully captures not only the intricate details of this fascinating creature but also showcases the breathtaking beauty found within our own backyard. It reminds us that even small creatures like harvestmen can bring immense joy and wonderment when observed closely. So next time you find yourself strolling through nature reserves or exploring your local surroundings, keep an eye out for these marvelous invertebrates. Who knows? You might just stumble upon your very own "Spidey's Summer Stroll" moment!
