Please help. I find these creepy things in my basement in the springtime and can’t stand it. I have no idea what it is and they seem to be somewhat aggressive.
Thanks!

Hi Laurie,
This is a harmless (unless you are a small creature) Solpugid, a non-venomous relative of spiders and scorpions. Solpugids are fierce predators that will keep your house free of cockroaches and other undesirable intruders. They are sometimes called Sun Spiders or Wind Scorpions.
