Harvestman (molt/exoskeleton)

Damp, shaded areas including forests, gardens, caves, and often on the exterior of buildings or brick walls.

Omnivorous scavengers or predators; they eat small insects, fungi, decaying plant matter, and animal remains.

Harvestmen are nocturnal and often congregate in large groups. The image depicts a discarded exoskeleton (exuviae) left behind after a harvestman shed its skin to grow.

They are completely harmless to humans as they lack venom glands and silk glands. They provide ecological benefits by consuming pest insects and cleaning up organic detritus.
