This strictly arboreal and nocturnal whip scorpion has a flat body and fragile legs, by which it moves sideways like a crab. The front pair of legs are modified into very long antenniform appendages which it uses to navigate and to detect prey. It has two large, spiny pedipalps, which are typically larger in the male than the female. It feeds on small insects.
