La araña camello. (Camel Spider)

E.V.: The camel spider is one of the most surprising animals. Big mysteries and legends originate and surround this animal. The  Solifugae or  Solpugide are a class of carnivorous arachnids, relatively big, being present in all the tropical countries. This spider has an armor-plate and prehistoric aspect and even when it looks threatening it is in fact not dangerous nor it has a mortal poison like some myths and legends say so.

Son carnívoros voraces, que persiguen a la presa hasta sujetarla con los extremos adhesivos de sus pedipalpos, para lanzar luego rápidos y eficaces mordiscos de sus quelíceros. De esta manera son capaces de atrapar y devorar incluso presas armadas y potencialmente peligrosas, como escorpiones o avispas.

E.V.: They are voracious carnivorous that chase their prey until they grab them with their adhesive extremities of their pedipalps and then it launches quick and effective bites  from their cheliceras.  Consequently, they are capable to catch and devour even armed and potentially dangerous preys, like scorpions or hornets.

A medida que despedazan la presa, la rocían con jugos digestivos, lo que facilita la posterior succión de los restos en una forma fluida; coinciden en esto con las arañas y otros arácnidos depredadores.

E.V.: While they are turning into pieces their preys, they spray them with their digestive liquids and after that it makes easier the suction of the remains of it in a fluid way; coinciding in this aspect with the rest of spiders and other arachnid predators.
