Whip Scorpion

Whip Scorpion. The Whip Scorpion (real name Thelyphonida) is actually an arachnid but is dubbed the ‘Whip Scorpion’ as it resembles a scorpion more than an arachnid species and has a whip-like tail.. hip Scorpions can be found in tropical and sub-tropical climates but are fairly hard to spot due to the fact that they avoid direct sunlight.. Whip Scorpions prefer a habitat that is dark damp and preferably humid, as such they spend most of their time in their underground burrows..
