Solpugidae

Solpugidae is a family of solifuges or sun spiders.[1] Solpugidae have groups of papillae on their pedipalps or sensory organs. The papillae come out of sockets that are characterized with the function of mechanoreceptor, and contact chemoreceptors, which allows them to respond to stimuli such as touch and sound. [2]

gollark: Mostly I just stare at the page, think a lot, and eventually dredge up an answer or at least an intuition about where to look.
gollark: That mostly doesn't happen to me.
gollark: For all the ridiculous problems of my workflow, I will go to *great* effort to solve a problem without having to go through the hassle and high latency of actually asking people.
gollark: Ah, learned helplessness.
gollark: Well, it might be if I go to a university or something with hard time consuming courses. Right now I only do 25 hours a week *at most* of work.
