What is a "whip scorpion"?
A whip scorpion, also known as a vinegaroon or tailless whip scorpion, is an arachnid with a fearsome appearance characterized by a long whip-like tail and large pincer-like front legs. Despite their menacing appearance, whip scorpions are relatively harmless to humans and are primarily nocturnal predators that feed on small insects and other invertebrates. They are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, often dwelling in dark and humid environments such as caves or leaf litter.
