Amblypygi. A tailless whipscorpion. Very harmless.

Oh my goodness, how cool! Seconding Dan on tailless whip scorpion (which aren’t actually scorpions). I love these guys. Completely harmless and very fascinating. They’re even part of the invert pet market (but certainly don’t keep one from the wild!).
Kids like to play with these, but take care in handling. Those looong first pair of legs are their feelers, delicate and break easy.
