Harvester species exhibit a diverse array of defenses against predators. In this article, we briefly cover chemical defenses, coloration patterns, autotomy, aggregations, freezing behavior, bobbing, body vibration, and the production of sounds that might be used to avoid predators' attacks. Those defenses are not present in all harvester species and may not deter all kinds of predators. We discuss how prey-predator interaction may shape the evolution of defenses. Here we focus on studies that have been done after 2007, and we aim to give a general idea of the knowledge about prey-predator interactions in Opiliones to date, especially to the general public.
