Until recently I was a resident in Northern Minnesota. While living there, I came across a species of arachnid that I was unfamiliar with. They were similiar in appearance to the tailless whip scorpion. Black in color and about the size of a #2 pencil eraser. According to the information contained under "Uropgygid", this is not possible. Minnesota has never been described as Tropical or Sub-Tropical. I would appreciate any information that anyone might be able to provide. My son is doing a science project for school about these creatures. Thankyou for your attention.

[edit] Telson

We should avoid using the term "telson" referring to the flagellum or to the caudal spine, specially with a nonsense link to the telson of Crustacea, which makes part of the tail fan as has nothing to do with this structure in Chelicerata. Vae victis 15:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
