As if that isn't strange enough, Giant Vinegaroons do not have stingers, they have long whip-like tails that do not sting at all. Sometimes people mistake them for insects because it looks like they have 6 legs and a pair of antennae, but actually, the "antennae" located in the front are just long, modified legs.

I got these on Friday and I love them! I've always wanted some vinegaroons, aka whipscorpions (though they're not actually scorpions). From what I can tell I have 2 males and 2 females, which is good ... Vinegaroons are so strange looking! And the name always sounded to me like some sort of really nasty cookie!

The whip scorpions, or vinegaroons, often are thought to be deadly—they are not. They might give a good pinch and an odor of acetic acid, otherwise known as vinegar, but that is a long way from deadly. The "whip" that gives the whip scorpions their common name, is sensory in nature, not a defensive organ.

As soon as it was uncovered the vinegaroon tried to hide in a small hole in the moist ground (the animal is a nocturnal and hence hunts at night). I took a few pictures, but while doing so I noticed very small flies being attracted by my They reminded me of sand flies as I had encountered in New Zealand. ... I thought I did,

They are called vinegaroons because they can emit acetic acid (a main component of vinegar) from the base of the tail. This is used as a defense against predators. They are also called whip-scorpions because of the thin tail.
