    > Other scorpions

    The tailless whip scorpion (also the whip-spiders) are not scorpions (order Scorpiones). They’re order Amblypygi.

      Doesn’t pygi mean butt in science Greek? And ambly means walk. Do they walk on their butts?

        You’re close. It means blunt tail. You might be thinking of the Latin ambulo which means to walk. I do want to see what a tail-walker looks like now, though.

        I think you are thinking of Vinegaroons - they spray you with acetic acid. AFAIK, amblypigids skewer their prey on arm spikes

          *quick series of searches*

          wait you’re right. I don’t think I was thinking of either of these. a childhood friend had various bugs as pets and would point out which ones liked to chomp. I may be lost now without his teaching
