Amblypygi is an order of arachnids also known as whip-spiders or tailless whip-scorpions, not to be confused with whip-scorpions or vinegaroons that belong to the related order Thelyphonida. The name "amblypygid" means "blunt tail", a reference to a lack of the flagellum that is otherwise seen in whip-scorpions.
Amblypygi including Phrynus species have been recorded as being preyed upon by reptiles and mammals, as well as other arachnids. [8] However, cave populations of Phrynus longipes tend to be the dominant predator in their ecosystem. [1] In territorial conflicts, Phrynus longipes have been shown to kill and eat each other. [6]
