It's pretty obvious if you have done any research that there are a lot of urban legends revolving around the fugids, such as chasing people, growing to impossible sizes, and being quite potent/dangerous. I also read from various sources that they can jump six feet high, which of course is false. I myself had an individual from Arizona for just under a year. Seemed like a very mellow creature actually. This individual was not seemingly fast or able to climb its plastic enclosure. However, there was an instance where the spider (i know they aren't spiders, but for the sake of the usage of same terms) seemingly jumped the 1.5 feet to the top of the container while i was sifting through my bin for a cricket (lunch). As i said before, i have not witnessed such speed in this specimen ever (with the exception of this event). I turned my head for about five seconds with the lid off. Does anyone have information regarding solifugids' agility? I am just very curious, as are most enthusiasts when it comes to sunspiders.
