Im assuming he is an arachnid but two of the legs(second set back from the front) he seemed to use more as feelers than legs. Is that a thing? Very curious guy regardless, stopped and posed for the front shot.

This is an arachnid in the order Opiliones; commonly called harvestmen or daddy long-legs. Arthropods having very long and slender legs often appear to use a pair of them in an antenna-like fashion, feeling their way about in their environment.
