I don’t like it one bit. I don’t want this thing grabbing onto me.

> Other scorpions
Tailless whip scorpions (aka whip-spiders) are not scorpions (order Scorpiones). They’re order Amblypygi, more closely related to spiders (Aranae) than to scorpions.
I know this, and you know this, but MEME
also they bite like motherfuckers
Grab’n’bite
I think you are thinking of Vinegaroons - they spray you with acetic acid. AFAIK, amblypigids skewer their prey on arm spikes
is it like good vinegar or does it taste like bugs
*quick series of searches*
wait you’re right. I don’t think I was thinking of either of these. a childhood friend had various bugs as pets and would point out which ones liked to chomp. I may be lost now without his teaching
Mmm. Vinegar!
When I was a kid we’d move these plastic storage containers we had sitting in the backyard and these guys would always be under them. You can drop leaves, tiny pebbles, and other small bugs in front of them and they’ll grab it like this. It looks funny as hell.
Me when I fucking GET you

freaky arms.

That was actually a fun video to watch. Such a freaky creature.
yeah, tho it worries me that people are keeping these things as pets, because the pet market is terrible about running species wild populations into the ground
