Is this a spider? It looks like a harvestman.
(Not saying it doesn't belong here, just curious)

I'm no an expert. But 8 legs, pedipalps... What else could it be? I'm willing to be educated 😁
Harvestman nemastomatidae, arachnid family. So yes?

It is true that spiders and harvestmen are in the arachnida class, but so are scorpions. Spiders are all the guys in the araneae order. Harvestmen are all the guys in the opiliones order. So, harvestmen are not spiders.

But only one body segment, spiders have two!
And yes, all arachnids (even scorpions) can be posted here for now.

Cool, I've only seen one up close once and wasn't sure
