New species of arachnid captured on video for first time

The Associated Press has captured footage of a new species of arachnid on camera for the first time. Biologists in southern Spain discovered the new species - the first of its kind to be found in the country in 200 years. Gluvia brunnea belongs to the order solifugae and, although they are sometimes called camel spiders, they're actually a different creature altogether. #arachnid #insects #science #news #spain

[@lindaluke3704]

This is a wind scorpion. Found in N. California at my home. Very, very fast, with huge incisors. I captured one and placed it in a jar capped with a clear plastic bag and rubber band only to discover the next day that the jar was empty and there was a hole in the plastic. 😬😱 The next one I caught had a mason jar with metal lid. We caught a fly for it, and it instantly jumped and attacked it. It was one of the scariest spiders I'd ever seen, but it turns out they are beneficial (preying on insects we don't want around and other spiders) and they are not true spiders. It was many years later that I found this info in a library book in a completely different region.

[@gingermcgingin4106]

So these aren't actually spiders nor scorpions, they're their own group of arachnids know as solifuges, also they don't have incisors, they have chelicerae (which means 'claw lip'), like all other chelicerates.

[@DG-nk7jo]

So apparently you haven’t caught this arachnid nor identified it from a book because this is an entirely new species.

[@gidw5833]

There is more than one species of sun spider, it isn't all one globe spanning species, it's hundreds of different ones

[@CarbonFiberSwan]

Chill. It’s a different variety of the same kind of arachnid. The ones in California are bigger, but otherwise look the same. The whole idea of “kinds” and “species” is a man made classification system anyways.
