Deathly Trio Framed Genuine Specimens

Stygophrynus dammermanii - AKA Cave Spider. From the family Charontidae . This black amblypygid is found in cave ecosystems throughout South East Asia. Cave spider or Tailless Whip Scorpion. Amblypygids are unique in that they have six walking legs, whereas other arachnids have eight. The reason for this is that amblypygids' first ancestral walking legs have been modified into sensory organs. These can be twice the length of the body and are used to probe the environment.They are completely harmless and do not have venom.

Eucorysses grandis - AKA Death head bug. If you look closely you can see his skull like face. Indigenous communities believe that this bug is an omen and death to your family will result if this bug is killed.

Heuchys incarnata - AKA Red Devil cidada. Beautiful red bodied cicada .It is thought that the sound produced by some communal species can act as a defence against predatory birds and some are even loud enough (120 decibels) to be painful to the human ear. Cicadas also often sing in chorus, which makes it more difficult for a predator to locate an individual.
