From Rod Crawford:
Hesperonemastoma modestum (Banks), female Family Ischyropsalididae

(your site is using a splitter's family classification that places it in the - IMO non-existent - family Ceratolasmatidae).

Interesting!
I think it's a Harvestman (order Opiliones), but I've never seen palps that long! It looks like it has 10 legs! Wish I knew these guys better... they're on my 'list' of things to get to know. Maybe Rod Crawford will recognize it?

Thank you so much..
For the I.D. and in contacting Rod. I'll plan to save the specimen until such time I can get it to him... Thanks again.

weird looking
it looks like a ten-legged fungus ridden harvestman. I'll email Rod & see what he says.
