Leiobunum vittatum, the eastern harvestman, is a species of harvestman in the family Sclerosomatidae. It is found in North America.[1][2][3] They are most active from late spring to early fall, with late summer being when eggs are laid.[citation needed] Omnivorous, they feed on plant fluids, fungi and other arthropods. During autumn, they've been known to gather together to stay warm in tree holes or other shelters.[citation needed]
