Amblypygi
This is one of the strangest "bugs" that I have ever seen. It could have easily auditioned for a sci fi movie when magnified considerably.
Amazon rainforest
This specimen was shown to some in our group in the 2013 Educator Academy by Randy Morgan, formerly of the Cincinnati Zoo.
This is a male- note the long (wide) pedipalps. It is not a whip scorpion (Vinegaroons - order Thelyphonida) nor a scorpion (Scorpion - Scorpiones), it is however "tailless".
Wow! I don't get creeped out by much, but I think I might turn the other way if I met up with that:). Awesome photo!
