Solpugids and Camel SpidersWhat’s this bug?
Hi my name is Trevor. I live in Fallbrook California (northern San Diego ,Southern Cal.) I have seen 2 of these little suckers and they seem very aggressive towards people & other bugs? Just wondering what they were…??? Any help would be appreciated!
thanks for your help,
Trevor.
Hi Trevor,
You have a photo of a Solpugid, commonly known as Sun Spiders or Wind Scorpions. They are neither spiders nor scorpions, but related to both. They are aggressive hunters and do not have any venom, so they are harmless to people.
