Solifugae Arachnida Arthropoda Animalia

Order of spider-like animals commonly known as the sun spiders or wind spiders because they can run so fast. They are anatomically different from true spiders, have no poison, spin no web, and rip their prey apart with large, dagger-like chelicerae. There are about 900 species.
