"Wind Scorpion"? (we call them camel spiders, but still - very Spider-adjacent and mean little f*&%ers...)

Laundry day (biologist style)!

If you are looking for some SUPER cool invertebrate themed t-shirts, @tshahan.bsky.social is a v rewarding direction to go. This shirt is YEARS old, and still delights me every time I see it.

Roar, tiny solfugid!! 🥳🥳🥳

A sheep is filmed in a pasture as a solifugae attaches near its mouth. The video captures a rare rural wildlife encounter while the animal reacts and the shepherd records the unusual moment.

I love solifugae because they're so cute and goofy looking but they only live for like a year and even less in captivity so everyone who sees one has to take a picture of it and show me okay. or even better a video since they waggle

Omega Protogenis
Following the arrival of the omega frames in the Forbidden lands, one managed to avoid the guild and has started assimilating the inhabitants of the Scarlet Forest and Windward Plains.
(Inspired by Epomis Beetles and Solifugae)

Once you’ve faced a challenge from one of these bastards, you have earned Right of Passage through America’s Sonoran Desert. Our version of the Camel Spider which I think is also a solefuge.

doodled the head of a camel spider since I saw one today :) (which, actually aren’t spiders at all! they’re a type of arachnid, spiders are arachnids but not all arachnids are spiders!) #solifugae #camelspider #sunspider

As someone who appreciates the Solifugae order, I did wonder why the Chelicerate's jaws seemed familiar!

Camel spider/wind scorpion - not actually a spider or scorpion, but a predatory arachnid in the order Solifugae. They have no venom or silk glands. I found this tiny one, at most 1 cm. long, in the Mojave Desert on Tuesday. I thought this angle was kinda derpy-cute. 🐙🌿#BugSky

Beyond spiders and scorpions, Chelicerates are arthropod animals belonging to the subphylum Chelicerata. They are mainly characterized by having "chelicerae," which are the first pair of appendix near the mouth that can be shaped like a stinger or a chelae (similar to crab pincers).

Wind Scorpion, based on the Solifugae, is a supervillain that built a fast-moving set of mechanical legs. However it wasn't enough to compete, and he bought actual super powers after. He has all the usual super-arachnid abilities, but also retractable fangs that can cut through steel.
