    Lynx spider (Oxyopidae), possibly a Western Lynx Spider, Oxyopes scalaris (Iowa, USA). Prey item looks to be a hymenopteran of some sort, either an alate (winged) ant or a small parasitoid wasp.
    Tailless Whip Scorpion, order Amblypygi, from Footprint Cave in Belize. These fascinating arachnids are well equipped for living in total darkness; their first pair of legs extend far in front of the body and act as sensory organs, searching the blackness for prey.
