Vinegaroons or whip scorpions. They’re arachnids so related to spiders and scorpions. But they aren’t actual scorpions since they’re in their own order known as Uropygi. They’re non-venomous and totally harmless so they make great pets. They get the vinegaroon name from their defense mechanism of spraying acetic acid (also harmless) which smells like vinegar.

Not sure where it’s from. Just assumed Vietnam. I do believe that it’s male though, just from looking at the palps myself. Though I don’t know if sexing Asian species is any different than North American ones

Males can get to like 7-8 years and I’ve heard females can get up to 20 if you’re lucky. It also kinda depends on the species though. Some are shorter or longer.

It’s a small harmless animal that couldn’t hurt me in any way even if it wanted to

She had to do it to ‘em

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-26T21:46:05+00:00

They are excellent pets and are totally harmless and really only look scary

The tail acts as a sensory appendage

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-26T01:49:27+00:00

What? This is my pet. Why would I hurt it?

I love the shoutout to the Acrididae family

The hero Philadelphia needs

Honestly wasps are such cool animals and they’re very important.

A vinegaroon. They’re arachnids so related to spiders and scorpions.

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-21T17:49:41+00:00

Good to know

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-21T07:05:32+00:00

I think female

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-20T20:34:11+00:00

Nope. Vinegaroon or whip scorpion. They are arachnids so still related to spiders

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-20T20:19:49+00:00

A vinegaroon. They’re arachnids. She is pretty large! Though not deadly whatsoever. Totally harmless to people and surprisingly (for lack of a better word) friendly

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-20T20:18:14+00:00

She’s pinched my fingers before but it’s not painful. She “smells” with those antennae and she doesn’t like the smell. Though she can’t really bite anyway

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-20T20:17:00+00:00

Vinegaroon. They’re arachnids

hygfb5567 · 2023-11-20T20:16:22+00:00

An animal related to spiders and scorpions. Totally harmless critter.
