Grosssssssssssssss! wwh sent me a shorter link to the amblypygid . This is the ugliest spider in the world except to other amblypygid s: http://makeashorterlink.com/?I6272587A Edit: Well, actually the spider is an Ambylypygid. Close enough. Second edit: Well, actually the word is spelled two ways on the above page, so I take the one in the red edit is incorrect. Here's the genus: Amblypygi Top #84360 - 02/13/05 08:57 PM Re: amblypygid tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10462 Loc: this too shall pass let us hope that it's not to be taken too literally. ambly- dim; blunt pygid (small?) rump now, callipygian.. or spheropygian : ) Top #84361 - 02/13/05 11:10 PM Re: amblypygid amblypygid stranger Registered: 02/13/05 Posts: 3 At risk of going off-topic (I don't know how it's looked upon here but some forums are very strict...): 1. 'Amblylypygid' is certainly a typo; the word is amblypygid 2. Amblypygids are not spiders, but belong to a different order - 3. - Amblypygi, which isn't a genus. The genus of the animal shown is Damon. There are around a couple of dozen genera in all. Some south american spcies can reach in excess of two feet across the 'whips'. The article is interesting, incidentally. It's a strange thing to lose in Brighton (not many people keep them, and they're generally both quite expensive and not easy to get hold of).

So, what differentiates amblypygids and spiders?
