Solifugae
- Camel Spider Most solifuges live in tropical or semitropical regions, where they inhabit warm and arid habitats. Some species however also live in grassland or forest habitats. The most distinctive features of solifuges is their large chelicerae. Each of the two chelicerae are composed of two articles forming a powerful pincer; each article bears a variable number of teeth. Males in all families but Eremobatidae possess a flagellum on the basal article of the chelicera. Solifuges also have long pedipalps, which function as sense organs similar to the insects antennae. Pedipalps terminate in eversible adhesive organs. Solifuges are carnivorous or omnivorous, with most species feeding on
termites, darkling beetles and other small arthropods. Prey is located
with the pedipalps and killed and cut into pieces by the chelicerae. The
prey is then liquified and the liquid ingested through the pharynx. Reproduction
can involve direct or indirect sperm transfer; when indirect, the male
emits a spermatophore on the ground and then inserts it with his chelicerae
in the female's genital pore. Note: We are not affiliated
