Common Harvestman

Species principle: Delicacy

Walk lightly.

You do not need mass to move carefully through a vast world.

Common Harvestmen have small bodies and very long legs used to move through vegetation, leaf litter, gardens, and meadows. They are nocturnal or crepuscular scavengers and predators of small organisms.

Glide without a fin.

A smooth design can move through pressure without making noise about it.
