Narrative
Sunscorpions (Order Solpugida) are a group of unusual Arachnids. They are frequently called Windscorpions because they can run as fast as the wind. These creatures are native to the hot dry deserts of the world. They can be recognized by the two thick pincher-like appendages near their head. There are almost 1,000 different species worldwide; the United States has more than 100 of them.
