Descripción

I am finally back from Semporna to share with all of you my spotting #500!
A small Vinegaroon measuring only at 25mm in length (from forehead to abdomen tip, excluded palps). It has a pair of eyes located in the front while 3 pairs of smaller white eyes at the side of its head. Its palps is modified into spiky pincers to capture prey while its front pair of legs have evolved into sensors which serve as an antennae. This species has a long thin tail to spray acids with vinegar smell to ward off predators. Unfortunately this specimen has somehow lost its tail.
