Your comment on the pedipalps and chelicerae got me intrigued and looking further- turns out pincer-like chelicerae is ancestral. Cool! I knew they were all arachnids but did not fully appreciate their relation to each other they are partly because spiders had fangs while the scorpions, vinegaroons, amblypygids have the pincer-like chelicerae. Picture of fossil sure hit it home for me, that's a vinegaroon tail! And those are spider legs! <br /><br />I've been visiting your blog for a couple months, enjoying how you make publications like this easier to read and understand. Those publications can be quite heavy reads to digest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
