Solifugae (Wind Scorpions or Camel Spiders)

Comments & ID Thoughts

I would like help identifying this spider. The main distinguishing feature that I see is that it seems to have very long pedipalps. When this spider runs along it holds these pedipalps out in front, raised, as if it's pointing in the direction it's running. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated.

I am not 100%, but I think this isn’t a Spider at all. I am not certain of the specific species.

Boy, looking at the information you sent I think you’re right. Brilliant. I don’t think I would have ever figured that one out. Thank you!

You’re welcome! I have never seen one of these before so we both learned something.

Hi, feel free to keep location details private. They aren’t needed for identification and may risk the exposure of the species to poachers. Beware.
