RE: A zoologist's top five bug encounters: from South America to Africa

That fellow is a solifuge, another primitive arachnid. You actually get some super pretty ones (the diurnal species tend to be more colourful). They're completely harmless, just hellishly fast :). The day active species usually go for shadows which is why they sometimes seem to be chasing people when they're actually just looking for shade.
