Named in honour of the German zoologist Heinrich Jakob Feuerborn (1883–1969), who conducted extensive research on the invertebrate fauna of Java and the Indonesian archipelago. Despite their common name, whip scorpions are not true scorpions — they belong to an entirely separate arachnid order, lacking both venom glands and a stinging tail. Instead, the defining feature of the Uropygi is the long, whip-like flagellum at the tail end — a sensory organ rather than a weapon — and the ability to spray a defensive secretion of acetic acid (vinegar) from glands at the base of the flagellum, earning the group their alternative common name ‘vinegaroons’. A genuinely ancient, anatomically extraordinary, and deeply compelling addition to any serious natural history collection or arachnological study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for arachnologists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 1","offer_id":48359619887293,"sku":null,"price":566.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 2","offer_id":48359619920061,"sku":null,"price":871.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":48359619952829,"sku":null,"price":1742.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/thelyphonus_feuerborni_E.Jv.jpg?v=1786738430","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/en-tw\/products\/thelyphonus-feuerborni","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
