Darkfield. I ripped the legs off a dead Harvestman, laid down a field of mountant on a slide and sprinkled the legs nto the mountant. Then added another layer of mountant and pressed a coverslip on the whole catastrophe.
I might add, that when a Harvestman expires, it has the good taste to curl its legs up.

Very interesting! I had no idea that their legs have so many segments.
