I found this guy on my shirt today! I live in RI, and it was a little bigger than a quarter. I was outside in my backyard, which is fairly wooded. I have never seen this kind before. Thanks for your help!

Not a true spider, but a related arachnid in the order Opiliones, known as harvestmen or daddy long-legs. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones for additional information.

I use to play with those when I was a kid. Now I hardly ever see one. Saw one the other day when I was weeding and I was happy to know I had some in my flower bed.
