I dont know if this is the right forum for this insect. If not please contact me.
I just noticed this insect on my ceiling - and it seems very strange. I never seen something like this before. If you zoom in you will understand me...
The body is ~1cm long. The longest width (including legs) is about 10cm (4 inch).
Has anyone idea what this might be?

This is a harvestman (sometimes called 'daddy long-legs'), an arachnid in the order Opiliones. It may be the species Dicranopalpus ramosus, which is native to your area - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicranopalpus_ramosus for more information. They are harmless to humans.
Hello, you are right it is just that he was in such position that I've never seen him like this before. When I touched him and he woke up, I did understand it :D
Thank you !
Spiders sometimes look like the creatures in space horror movies. That's a great picture!
AlienS, that insect did indeed look like an alien!
