This is the unidentified tailless whip scorpion I recieved. Possibly Charon grayi.



Here is Minobosius manilanus, a vinegaroon. It has the capacity to secrete acetic acid (vinegar) from it's thin tail. This Philipino species actually fired vinegar at my eyes, nearly 3 feet away. I also tried housing them together. They have not fought, I have seen no scrapping, and to top it off they are piling on one another when they sleep just like emperor scorpions.

what strange creatures. i love finding mastigoproctus gigantea here in az. you can find them road cruising during the mid and late summer and they look like giant cockroaches crossing the road.
