I do wish there was a more popular common name for amblypygi than “tailless whip scorpion” since every time people catch on to one of my ambly posts I get a lot of “wow that doesn’t look like a scorpion” or people tagging it #scorpion.
scorpions are their own order of arachnids, Scorpiones, and whip scorpions are another, Uropygi (I prefer to call those vinegaroons). Amblypygi are an order more closely related to Uropygi than either are to scorpions, but that’s still over 300 million years of being distinctly different animals.
it’s like calling a dog a “trunkless hairy elephant.” while that does sound comical at first it would get dull quickly whenever you are walking your trunkless hair elephant and people come up to you and say “wow! what an interesting elephant” and you have to explain, no, actually, this is a different type of mammal properly called “dog”
