The Order Amblypygi comprises arachnids commonly known as tailless whip scorpions or whip spiders. They are characterized by a flattened body, long, whip-like front legs used as sensory organs, and strong pedipalps for grasping prey. Despite their intimidating appearance, amblypygids are non-venomous and pose no threat to humans. They are primarily nocturnal predators, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates, and are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. Their unique morphology and behaviors, such as using their front legs to navigate and communicate, make them a fascinating group for study in arachnology.
