This solifugid is of the family Karschiidae, most likely the species Barrussus furcichelis or possibly Karschia rhinoceros. Sadley this is not my pic, but I had to share as it is definetely one of the most bizzare Solifugae species. Keeping this species would be a real treat

Alex S.

Yeah it would be sweat if one could keep this species.

Solifugae

Yeah, it really is an awesome species. The chelicerae of some species can be easily over 1/3 the body length. Extremely powerful predator.
