May 22, 2013 — Two new species of cave-dwelling short-tailed whipscorpions have been discovered in northeastern Brazil, and are described in research published May 22 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Adalberto Santos, from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil) and colleagues: here.

If any group of animals looks like a nightmare made real, it’s the whip spiders.
