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]
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.
Phrynichus orientalis is a species of whip spider native to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. [1] [2]Unusually for species in the order Amblypygi, the antenniform legs of females are longer than those of males.
Like other species of the order Amblypygi, species of the genus Phrynus are dorso-ventrally flattened arachnids with elongate, antenniform front legs used to navigate their environment and communicate with conspecifics. [2] Individuals capture prey using raptorial pedipalps.
