She's so pretty! Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely fell in love with amblybygids (and solifuges too!) reading this book when I was young;

The cover of the book Encyclopaedia of Insects and Arachnids, by Maurice Burton. It has a six-spot burnet moth on the cover, a moth with dark metallic green wings with red spots.

I'd love to see an amblypygid in person, but in the only zoo I've been to where they kept them, it was hiding, so I could only see the tips of the first pair of legs!
