En cambio, en Polaco se llama lo con "abdomen embotado." ?Curioso, no? Creo que no parece a escorpion tampoco ;)
We understand... Blind means eyes are in unusual structure... look like no eyes...!!
Yo creo, la verdad nunca he preguntado por qué se llaman así, pero lo haré! Luego te lo hago saber.
Que raro nombre araña ciega, nunca habia oido, me imagino que es por lo que parece que se estan tapando los ojos no?
Please put its local name also with comma in ID... What help others to understand it...
En Colombia las llamamos arañas ciegas.
Yes but is harmless to humans, thanks for the correction Chip, here in Ecuador they are called araña-escorpion, that translates to scorpion spider, so I didnt know its true ID in english.
Oh my, it's scary!
