Hey!
Today, searching for scorpions and centipedes I've found this little fella :)
I've caught it under a stone, in mountains, near Afyonkarahisar city, Anatolia, Turkey.









I've found article about turkish Solifugae. In Nidge area, which is quite close to my place, they've found 13 species, from 6 families (!).
So.. any ideas about specie ?

If you need other photos give me a sign. I'll do my best.

Cheers!
Greg

The only thing i'm sure of, jugding by the tarsal segmentation, is that it belongs to the Galeodidae.

I'm not sure where .. I read an article stating that they can have longer life spans in captivity. something about them hibernating and not needing fed as often.
I know that's not your question but food for thought .
