''Galeodes'' is a genus of solifuge Solifugae is an Order (biology), order of animals in the Class (biology), class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genus, gener ...s or sun spiders. The nearly 200 species in this genus are found in northern Africa, southeastern Europe and Asia. Like other solifuges, they are mainly nocturnal and found in arid habitats. They often have long hairy appendages and are not as stout bodied or dark and contrastingly coloured as some other solifuges. Some ''Galeodes'' species are able to produce sounds by stridulation. These are usually raspy or hiss-like and may be imitations of the sounds of vipers, to serve a defensive function.

The male strokes the female using the palps allowing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
