Dear Gretchen,
We are catching up on some unanswered requests and we decided to post your submission. This shy, nocturnal hunter is a Tailless Whipscorpion. They do not have venom and they are not considered dangerous to humans. Because they will hunt and eat spiders and cockroaches, they are often tolerated indoors.
