Camel Spiders Solifugida

[gataloco]

Would be interested on any information out there. I do a lot of education with middle school kids and this is the talk of the town. Second are there many of these in the US in the trade?

Thanks for your help. Fred

Hi gataloco, typing in Solifugae, solifugid, windscorpion, sunspider, and/or camelspider on a search engine should turn up lots of basic information on solifugids.

If you can find a National Geographic of the month of July 04 there is a good write up on them and great pics as well.
