Trivia

• Whip spiders wear fezzes in arachnophobia mode.

• In real life, whip spiders usually fight for mating right by circling and probing each other with their pedipalps. This unique animation can be seen only in Front Line when whip spiders confront each other on the surface.

• The whip mantis and the praying spider were created from a huge whip spider.

• The community affectionately calls the Huge Whip Spider, "Big Whippy".
