Hey Bugman,
I saw this bug in June in Cambodia. It was by the temples of Angkor. My guide said he had never seen a bug like that in all his years. What is it and is it rare? Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Harmless Tailless Whipscorpions are found in many parts of the world. We have received photos from Africa, Asia, Central America, Mexico and the Southwest United States. They are shy nocturnal hunters, which explains why they are not often encountered.
