Tailless whip scorpions (aka whip-spiders) are not scorpions (order Scorpiones). They’re order Amblypygi, more closely related to spiders (Aranae) than to scorpions.
You’re close. It means blunt tail. You might be thinking of the Latin ambulo which means to walk. I do want to see what a tail-walker looks like now, though.
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

Doesn’t pygi mean butt in science Greek? And ambly means walk. Do they walk on their butts?

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
