A drawing of phrynus resinae, an amblypygid/whip spider (an arachnid close to true spiders but without venom or silk and that is walking on 6 legs, not 8, due to the fact the first pair of legs is extremely long and are used as antennae)

Phrynus resinae, my first amblypygid since 2018^^
Really happy with how it looks and to have done a paleoart of such an historic species for the miocene american ambers^^

Amblypygids are part of an order of arachnids, also known as whip-spiders. If you have seen the Harry Potter movies, you might remember one that was used to practice curses on.

Just finished painting this amblypygid. I want to thank and credit @quailinthecity.bsky.social for letting me use their photo as a reference. You can also find them on youtube and insta as arthropod ambassadors

#Amblypygi are an order of arachnids often called tailless whip scorpions/spiders, but are neither.
Unlike spiders/scorpions, they possess no venom & are completely harmless to humans. They can grab at you with their spiky pedipalps, but would need to be antagonized to become defensive.

Despite their eerie appearance tailless whip scorpions are harmless. They can pinch if provoked but it can rarely break the skin. They are relatively docile. #whipscoprion #amblypygi #arachnid #spider #insect #macro
