https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblypygi… Tailless whip scorpion, or whip spider… I don’t think this is technically a spider- no silk, no venom. Similar though, both are arachnids.
LUCKY! This is a Tailess Whip scorpion! I wish I could have one as a pet! (Amblypygi, sometimes Phrynichida)
Hi.Agree, Amblypygi. Just plain harmless.
You do have to be careful handling them, hose really long feeler legs can break rather easy.
