That's a great looking sp. ghost tomb.

I read an article in National Geographic (one of the recent ones....can't remember what month) on solifugids. Wasn't that great. Better than the usual stories you see about these beasts but nothing special.

Horrido, if it's okay I may PM you about some of the scorps you find there.

Oh for goodness sake!! I just posted a thread about these, I found one in the ladies room at my work!!

Looking through the web, it appears I have a E. durangonua. What a feisty little thing!! Strongest jaws of any animal on earth!! (Relative to size!) Whoa!

how long do they tend to stay in their burrows for?
mine "Siren" was wondering around briefly when i got home :) no change i don't think though she's not eatting and soon went back under her log and sealed it off again. how long do they normaly spend underneth things?

when i got her she was very active and slept for about 3 hours at atime before roaming around more.

It is normal for solifugids to spend long periods of time in their burrows. Galeodids are nocturnal and many spend all day in a burrow. If solifugids are not out hunting or mating they are probably deep in their burrows or under stones and logs.
