Solpugid found eating a DOR (dead on road) western diamond-backed rattlesnake. This is the first time this has been recorded, and I am writing up a natural history note on it to be published so the scientific community can know this has occured.
On the road in a rocky grassland area.

Wind scorpions are Awesome! Congrats on the paper. I almost only use my "fancy camera". My Ipad take awful pictures.
Thanks guys! I love solpugids, just thought this was awesome so took a few phone photos. If I knew this had never been recorded before at the time, would have gotten out my fancy camera!
Wow! Congrats on this incredible spotting and great to hear you're going to do up a research paper about it! Go you :)
