Whip Spider (Damon diadema)

I bought 2 of these out of sheer curiosity and I have to say I'm quite surprised by the wide array of different and interesting behaviours they show. They're also probably the most alien looking animal I have ever kept.

2 juvenile females of Damon diadema, Chelicerata: Arachnida: Amblypygi

Music: Johan Skugge - Rough Journey

Despite their appearance, they're actually harmless.

I love that these things have just committed so hard to the "evil" look. Spindly, pointy legs, giant spiked clubs for hands, little scissor jaws, and beady eyes.
But they can't fool me. They're cute and I love them.

I see that your newest video is one year old, please don't stop posting! That's some high quality content you've got!

They're absolutely beautiful!!! I love the close up on the face of one who seems to be cleaning the spines on their foremost appendages 💗💕

[protopink]

And they won't fight each other? Neat.

Strange, creepy, and yet oddly beautiful.

[emiliahillberg]

is it only me that wants to get two of those just to study their behavior because of this video?
Really great work and such beautiful creatures you've got there. i really want to see more of them :D.

Imagine being a 1cm tall alien visiting earth for the first time and finding this

[AnttactwotwooneMcsniper]

[ariellarto]

[Rsheissekopf]

[laiben]

Badass spiky outlook which is actually non toxic and harmless to us

[shanoevo]

Did not expect to end up on a Battlefield trailer

[marcinfilipkiewicz]

Why you don't make videos anymore? They're awsome.

[tinaartzer]

They are also known as whip scorpions or amplypigids. Amplypigids are the correct name.

Great job filming!! To focus on such skinny little arms 😅👀

anyone coming to Mars with me? The N.O.P.E.-shuttle leaves in 0 seconds.

Like a combination of spider scorpion and a crab.
