I love that the first thing that he says is basically "HE'S NOT EATING DIRT!"
No, no it’s simply real-estate
@@brianisme6498 what
The way its head moves while eating is comical to begin with, add the fancy violin music at the end and it is hilarious. I went from feeling like “this thing is terrifying” to “this thing is ridiculous, I love it”
They’re not Spiders, or Scorpions, but in a category of their own.
When my brother was in the army, they used to follow the troops shadows when they where marching, which made it look like they where chasing them!
I’ve seen one of these things kill a Tarantula in a tank in seconds!
Nasty little things, but a marvel of nature.
I keep telling my friends that they are not Spiders but Solpugids
They aren’t spiders nor scorpions, they’re solifugae!
They’re arachnids, though, so they’re related!!!!.
Although intimidating, they actually keep away many common household pests, especially if you live in a dry desert environment.
Yeah these little guys are so fast. It's for sure the fastest moving land insect I have ever seen. One came charging on my bed before I was about to go to sleep. I smacked it. It played dead for ten minutes. I was sad after I found out they are not poisonous because I thought I killed it. But I took off and now its somewhere in my room. Hunting moths or whatever it eats. I live in high desert and its moth season and the moths have been waking me up but now that I have a micro cheetah in my room I think I'll be able to get some sleep if I can get over the fact it looks like a little monster.
I love their derpy little eyes
Their mouths are oddly vertebrate-ish, they even chew...
Most Arachnids "chew" it's just too small to see happening with most of them
Colby Elisabeth what about spiders? Don’t they suck the liquid out the digested fluids of their prey and not chew
@@brianisme6498 that's why I put "chew" in quotes. It's not like a spider just bites once and that's it, they bite it and definitely bite in a few other places but yes spiders may be the one exception to that motion in all *eleven orders of arachnid. It's all about breaking the exoskeleton to get inside so a spider has much sharper teeth, look at all of the other arachnids and you'll see the same motion as in this video and it's not chewing and doesn't need to be compared to vertebrates as if vertebrates are the standard of what all animals do
Colby Elisabeth ya, fair enogub
These little dudes are awesome! They have no venom but if you put one up against a tarantula, even one slightly smaller than the spider, the solifugae will usually win and eat the spider. They are little killers! Here in Cape Town South Africa we don't get the big ones but we get small grey ones that look like they have feathers. They are super fast and will eat anything up to twice their size! Further North they get bigger and bigger and are called red romans or sun spiders.
They got banned in fighting contests between soldiers on the African front during WW2. They were just too good.
Somehow I've become partial to tarantulas recently. Damn these camel spiders are ugly!
@@vickiezaccardo1711 love them🥰
@@andermolk2428 Spoken like a true arachnologist!
South Eastern Washington, here. Near the dunes in the Pasco area we have plenty of "Sun Spiders" .... they used to infest the former Coinstar regional office.
I saw one of these yesterday and was so happy. Can't explain it but I think they're super cute
00:40 what are those little 'feet' beneath it?!
They look sort of like suction cups. Wonder what they are?
To me it looks like those sensors that scorpions have, help them find mates. Don't take my word for it tho
From Wikipedia:
"Malleolus (plural: malleoli) is a fan-shaped chemoreceptor or racquet organ, an array of which are carried in pairs on the ventral or undersides of Solpugidae. They are the counterpart of pectines in scorpions, and modified walking limbs in the uropygids and amblypygids. Most species have 5 pairs of malleoli on the ventral surface of the fourth pair of legs of both sexes, while juveniles and other species have 2-3 pairs."
As mentioned above, scorpions have organs called pectins, but these are not located on their legs. Instead they are their own appendages.
I remember the first time I saw one I googled spider with beak. It came right up
Was scared at first, now I’ve warmed up to her!
I just found one in my room, I live in the dry desert and these keep spiders and scorpions under control. It appears I have a welcome roommate 😅
I just found one of these in my house! :D
Nuke it from orbit
Same
@@wulfee_8434 they're non venomous dmbass
@@ceramikxxx5882 ok im back and i love bugs now its ok
I find these things strangely funny. The way their whole head moves when they eat just makes them look silly, and they just dangle their junk down to find a mate as if theyre going 'CHECK IT OUT LADIES'.
I know theyre vicious killers but they just seem so daft in human terms.
I spot at least 10 of these every night here in Stiles, TX.
they generally move a hell of a lot faster than that! #lightningwithtenlegs
Not ten legs. Eight. Those longest ones are pedipalps.
solifuge are cool af
went camping and these things were all over my tent.
A Pincer-teddy.
You may know where can I get/buy one?
Nat Boa yeah. I just found one in my cereal bowl. scariest shit you'll every experience
why gea?
I have just found one of these spiders , I kept on a bottle . Am I in danger ? Tell me before I died :,(
No, they don’t kill humans and it’s not a spider or scorpion listen to the video
I hate it
Finally someone
Why is no one saying how bad this thing is like wtf
@@Laura-rq7du because its not bad actually, just ugly
@@lowserver2 no one says how ugly it is either
@@Laura-rq7du no need to say it i guess xD
🤣
