  The cool thing is you can send it as a postcard! I've also heard them 
called Solpugids and wind scorpions. The members of the Polish-Mongolian 
expeditions used to keep a wary eye out for them. Folklore had it that they 
were very poisonous. How big were these, Jack? I had a little one appear in a 
screen I was using for sifting once in South Dakota.
  Someday, the horror movie industry is going to discover these. The way they 
use their huge mandibles is very distressing. DV.
