Phalangium opilio. Although an arachnid and related to spiders it is not. Unlike the spiders, it has no silk glands so is not able to spin a web. It does not have fangs and does not produce venom. It catches its insect prey by using hooks on the ends of its legs. They are also able to shed a leg to escape preditors, which is probably what has happened here.
