My first thought was a tick with an attitude. If they eat termites, I'd like to order a couple of dozen from you. Do you deliver to Punta Banda?
Interesting bug though, thanks for posting it. I've never seen one.

Good lord. Usually when you see a critter with long out-stretched claws like that it's because they are geared for bigger prey. WATCH OUT!!!

The second photo is the Matavenado. There was a long thread about him last year. The locals in San Nicolas' will tell you that they are three times
as bad as a scorpion, but in fact they are non-venomous. One of these times I'm going to work up the anti-squeemishness to carry one around in my
hand, and become a local folk hero.
If I were a bug, this Whip Scorpion is the one I wouldn't to see coming my way.
