Field Notes
Description:
The first time I saw this animal I was really impressed. I had never seen something like this before. I asked around and I only know that this creature is from the order of the Amblypygi, an order of invertebrate animals in the class of arachnidae, but it is a separate order of arachnids alongside the spiders. I don't know which species it exactly is.
It was approx. 15 cm (without the sensor legs).
They are very useful animals and catch cockroaches and other stuff, and they are completely harmless to people. This one in particular was living most of the time in our bathroom.
