 Amblypygi, also known as whip spiders or tailless whip scorpions, are a group of arachnids that are found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. They are characterized by their long, thin legs and whip-like antennae that are used to sense their environment. Despite their menacing appearance, Amblypygi are not venomous and are not considered a threat to humans.


Amblypygi are primarily nocturnal and are typically found in dark, humid habitats such as caves, crevices, and the forest floor. They are solitary creatures and are often territorial, using their long legs and antennae to sense and defend their space. Amblypygi are carnivorous and feed on a variety of small insects and arthropods.


One interesting feature of Amblypygi is their ability to regenerate lost limbs. If an Amblypygian loses a leg during a fight or while escaping from a predator, it can regrow a new one over time.
