Damon diadema
Damon diadema is a species of amblypygid, sometimes known as the tailless whip scorpion or Giant Amblypygid.[1] It is found in Central Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania where it lives in caves, crevices and under fallen logs.[1] The animal is 4–28 mm (0.16–1.10 in) long with a flat body.[1] It is known as a tailless whipscorpion because of the long whip-legs that are the majority of its body width. Its legspan is about 20 cm (7.9 in).
