Field Notes

Habitat:

Saw this on a rock in tropical forest during a night walk.

Notes:

In my previous Spotting of a Whip Spider, I was asked if they glow in the dark or under UV light. I was able to try it this time, and unfortunately, they don't.

@MrsPbio - this one was not very big, just around 1.5 cm in body length. The long scrawny legs makes them looks bigger only. Just have to do some cavings, I think they are likely to be found in the caves. I saw quite a few including several females carrying babies when I visited a cave in Davao, Mindanao, Philippines.

Albert, you are making me green with envy. First you post a pic of a vinegaroon (WhipScorpion), and now you find a Tail-less Whip Scorpion! My two favorite "creepy creatures"! How big is this one?
