Upset uropygid

The uropygid in a more defensive position. It rocked back and forth on its six legs (actually, it has 8 legs - the last two are stretched out in front).

Uropygids, known here as vinagrillos, spray an acid that smells like vinegar (hence the name). They are not dangerous to humans, but they do stink, even if you stamp on them.
