Spider with a 'whippy' tail found preserved in amber

100 million years ago, spider-like critters had fancy long tails to go with their fangs and spinnerets.

Thanks to Mother Nature’s great freeze-frame device known as amber, scientists have just discovered a remarkable new species of arachnid from 100 million years ago.

Scorpion's ancestor? Like spiders also scorpions are arachnids

Precursor to scorpion?

Scorpions ancestors also lived in the prehistoric seas and lakes from 450 to 252 millions years ago.

Creatures like this actually are not extinct; they are common in the United States, as well as in other parts of the world.

They are called "vinegaroons" in the US, also known as "whip scorpions". They emit an aerosolic mist from their tails when frightened.
