Why I love arachnids
My parents didn’t like them because they terrify people and children love them because they are seen in children’s stories books and a nursery rhyme the itsy-bitsy spider. There’s also a superhero Spider-Man I love spiders arachnids, because arachnids are unique
Asia
Sitting here wondering what a category 'Asia' adds to the wiki, when we already have categories that divide it into smaller regions ...

Publicaçoes Recentes em taxonomia
Oi galera, fiquei pensando, será que tem algum espaço dentro da opilio Wikia onde postar as publicaçoes mais recentes en taxonomia de Opiliones? Seria uma boa maneira de manter atualizados os usuarios disponibilizando os PDFs. Sem concorrer com Omnipaper, claro, ja que o foco seria outro, tipo so colocar paper do ano corrente.

Cosmetidae
Só tentando fazer alguma coisa útil com cosmetidae na Wikia reparei a situação horrivel em que está. Alias um monte de nomes quase iguais tipo Cynort..., Paecilem... Rhaucu..., ...rhaucus, e assim por diante.
Poacher Turned Gamekeeper
This will probably be hard for some of you to understand, but for over half a century, I was a chronic arachnophobe.
To an arachnophobe (as to many other people) harvestman=spider. The other thing is that size is of no consequence. Any arachnid, no matter how small, will produce the same reaction: Fight or flight. In my case, the exceptions were the scorpions and pseudoscorpions (which I have always thought to be "cute").
Although being petrified of them (or maybe because of that), I have always had an intellectual interest in these creatures, and therefore a couple of years ago embarked on a course of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to get cured. If any of you know other arachnophobes, I can strongly recommend this as a solution.
Anyway,…
