Order: Amblypygi
This little guy was so cool, I found him on the ground so decided to pic him up for a closer look. He's a tailless whip scorpion we spotted in the Amazon jungle whilst spotlighting at night, about 3 hours downstream of the town Coca in Ecuador.
So it's a scorpion? It looks more like a spider. And what possessed you to want to pick that thing up at all, let alone in the Amazon where things can be all kinds of poisonous.
It is not a scorpion, nor is it a spider. There are 11 orders in the Class Arachnida, Amblypygi is simply one of these such orders. There are many other strange arachnids, for instances Ricinulei [link]
the hooded tickspiders, not a tick and not a spider. Hope that helps
Heh yeah what he said, he should know he's a acarologist! Yeah and as for picking it up I don't think they can physically bite you, at least this guy didn't so I'm gonna say sure they're safe to touch! Thanks for the interest and thanks sigma1ao for the info.
