Description
This solifugid was really hungry, it ate several insects in front of me, cutting them into pieces and crushing to extract the body-juices. It devoured a large grasshopper cutting off its head first. After a couple of minutes a chewed mass remained. Can you imagine if this creature was larger and hunting humans?

Awesome! What the hell is this nasty looking bug?? Glad we don't have them here in California. :)
Mareko Marciniak replied:
They run very fast and actively hunt other insects, completely harmless to humans, fantastic creatures with very high metabolism. There are many species, quite common in Africa. Thank you Paul for comment.
