What is this ?
Hello,
Found it hanging on my wall on the sunset side at night in Scottsdale AZ. USA, Can you help me identify this thing ?
Thanks,
Mav

Hi Mav,
This is a Solpugid, also called a Wind Scorpion or a Sun Spider. They are non-venomous and harmless to humans, but they could give a painful bite.
