Description

The Phrynidae family, often enveloped in eerie myths, consists of tailless whip scorpions, an arachnid that is neither a scorpion nor a spider. Their fearsome appearance belies a harmless nature, as they lack venomous parts and represent no threat to humans. These creatures utilize their elongated, whip-like feelers to navigate and hunt in the darkness of caves and under rocks, sensing vibrations and air currents rather than relying on sight.
