Wind Scorpion

Near Zapata, Texas

This wind scorpion (also called sun spider) was found eating a half dead 10 inch wetern diamond backed rattlesnake on the road side at 1:30 in the morning. A car may have taken some of the fight out of the snake, but it was an impressive sight. I had to take him home to figure out what kind of arachnid this was.
