Tailless Whip Scorpion

Amblypigi

Habitat:

Warm, humid regions under leaf litter, fallen trees, or in caves.

Notes:

Fun to hold - they don't sting, but they are arachnids! They hunt other arthropods (by walking sideways at night with their front legs outstretched).

Another great image! As freaky as these guys look, they are really quite harmless.
