Dear Mae,
We don’t often get requests to identify Tailless Whipscorpions that include the word “cute” in the description.  Your request is quite refreshing.  Tailless Whipscorpions are found in many parts of the world that have warm climates.  They are harmless as they have no venom.  They are predatory, nocturnal hunters.
