They may grow to a length of 300 mm (12 in) including legs, and have a body comprising an opisthosoma (abdomen) and a prosoma (head) with conspicuously large chelicerae, which are also used for stridulation. Most species live in deserts and feed opportunistically on ground-dwelling arthropods and other animals. A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans.

ewwww...
I think the only pics in this post that are actual solifugaes are the first two photos. The third and fifth are tailless whip scorpions, can't tell what kind of spider the fourth and sixth are.
I am from the caribbean and i grew up seeing and killing scorpion spiders and what i have been killing are in the 3rd and 5th Pictures hope they remain in that order, the ones with the very long antlers Shaped like legs and positioned between the legs and the claw/pincers
Gross! I'd rather see a black widow than that!
