Opilio parietinus is a species of harvestman found in Europe and North America. It is similar to O. canestrinii, but has dark spots on its coxae, and is generally more of a grayish green color. Like O. canestrini, it was often found on house walls in Central Europe, but has by now almost everywhere been replaced by this invasive species.[1]
