Tailless Whipscorpion

Hi Alexia,
Even though it is related to venomous Arachnids like spiders and scorpions, the Tailless Whipscorpion does not have venom, so it is harmless.  They are shy nocturnal predators that will feed on Cockroaches and spiders and other creatures you might not want in the home.  Though Tailless Whipscorpions are frightening in their appearance, we hope you will learn to tolerate them should you ever encounter another.
