[Soy aracnólogo, pregúntame lo que quieras @Arachno_Cosas]

¡Demasiado bonito como para pasar desapercibido!

Y sí, es un arácnido, del orden #Opiliones. Se trata de una especie nueva para la ciencia, descrita por mi querido amigo @abelaracno y Vanesa Mamani.

Su nombre es #Metalacurbs foordi, en honor a Stefan Foord †.
