Schizomida, also known as sprickets[1] or short-tailed whip-scorpions,[2] is an order of arachnids, generally less than 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in length. The order is not yet widely studied. E. O. Wilson has identified schizomids as among the "groups of organisms that desperately need experts to work on them."[3]
