Whipscorpion
by: Moni

Rhiannon
Your photo is of a whipscorpion. Unlike scorpions, the tail cannot sting, but is used as a sensory organ.
These arachnids are carnivorous, nocturnal hunters feeding mostly on insects and millipedes, but sometimes on worms and slugs. They are beneficial because they eat roaches and crickets. They love dark damp places.
