Solifugae

Arachnids of the order Solifugae are also referred to as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. In roughly 147 genera, the order has more than 1,000 recognized species. The majority of Solifugae species are opportunistic feeders that graze on tiny animals and ground-dwelling arthropods in dry areas. The length of the legs for the largest species is 12–15 cm (5–6 in). Numerous urban legends overestimate the Solifugae's size, speed, and minimally dangerous capacity for harming humans.


Typically, the Solifugae are univoltine (reproducing once a year). Indirect sperm transfer occurs when the male discharges a spermatophore onto the ground and subsequently inserts it with his chelicerae into the female's genital pore during reproduction. He throws the female on her back to accomplish this. After that, the female excavates a tunnel, where she deposits 50 to 200 eggs, some species of which guard the eggs until they hatch.
