I love how velvet worms r like straight out of an alien horror movie,, the way they hunt is just absolutely terrifying but make them small and look adorable.

THIS THIS THING LOOK AT IT

it literally shoots goop ( up to 1 feet) onto its pray that paralyses it, cuts it open with a sharp thorn like thing, inject a liquid that liquefies its organs AND SLURPS THEM UP

they r also completely blind, don’t have an exoskeleton and move by moving pressure

Bug fact of the day : mantises, especially female, are EXTREMELY CHILL with human interaction. You can just gently make them climb on your hand and they'll stay there.

This a purely wild mantis. I snatched her like 5 minutes before recording this video. Right now she's on my hand as I'm typing this and I'm holding her like I'd be holding a fucking straw and she is NOT reacting. She's a very healthy and reactive baby, she will bolt away if I annoy her. But it I don't ... Then my hand is friend

do u like solifugids ? can u tell me y they r like that ?

I really like them. They're like that because they can't eat solid food and didn't develop venom like spiders and their pedipalps are sensory and don't help them eat like scorpions.

So they just have their chelicerae for liquifying their food, no big arms, no chemicals, no hollow sucking fangs to help. So they have huge chelicerae, they're still claws unlike spider chelicerae so it looks like they have 4 fangs. But most arachnids have claw mouth parts, they're just very small. Scorpions have 2 pairs of claws, the big pedipalp claw arms and the tiny little chelicerae face claws that are harder to see.

So sulfugidae just have to use their giant face claws to knead their prey into a slurpable pulp. Like me when I want to drink and iceblock. They also have huge muscles on their face that are part of the chelicerae like some spiders. This is like the only flaw arachnids have, their eating tube has to go past their giant brain into their second mody segment so they eat slowly. Insects can just munch stuff.

And they have giant pedipalps that look like a 5th pair of legs and hair for sensory purposes since they're almost blind.

I imagine that's what you meant by why are they like that.
