Saw these two critters on a camping trip this weekend
The next stage from the Eulophus Wasp Parasitoids sequence... The detached one has developed what I assume may be (a dark brown) pre-cocoon area...

This is a harvestman - they have 8 legs (usually) but this one has only seven - though it will survive just as well as any other despite losing a leg...
It is either Phalangium opilio, or the red harvestman Opilio canestrinii.
