Thelyphonida Arachnida Arthropoda Animalia


Order of invertebrates in the class Arachnida. Commonly known as whip scorpions, they are superficially similar to scorpions but the first pair of legs is modified to serve as antennae-like sensory organs. They have a whip-like flagellum at the end of their abdomen but are not venomous and many species also have large scorpion-like pedipalps (pincers). Whip scorpions are carnivorous, nocturnal hunters.
