| The 400-million-year-old fossil organ belongs to a harvestman or daddy longlegs, a non-web-spinning arachnid, related to mites and ticks. |
| It is dark brown, with short hair bristling off eight legs that support its arachnid body. |
| Other containers house giant cockroaches and itty-bitty arachnid hatchlings, a few months old and smaller than a pinky nail. |
| All spiders are members of the arachnid order Araneae, which is divided into two suborders. |
| Without the bone chilling, sustained freezing temperatures of years gone by the arachnid population thrives. |
| In general, scorpions have the largest number of primitive arachnid features, and spiders and mites are the most highly evolved. |
