Met with the homeowner who reported the sighting on NextDoor. This guy was a long ways from his colony. Observed on the grounds of a local business. After some discussion, the owner and I reached the conclusion that this male hitched a ride from one of the business patrons. Scoured the area for others with no luck. Poor guy, he will never find any females here...

Found in a rural part of Pwani, midday. I’ve never seen forearms this big! The ends of the arms look like pinchers, so maybe it’s meant to mimic a scorpion? Roughly 0.5cm in size. I only wish I’d had more time to take better pictures!
