They have a vid of one killing a scorpion! It says they will charge you in the open desert only to get in your shadow for shade. That little ****** would have to run quick cause I'd be running so fast that there would be no shadows.

 

Those white things look like the plastic thingies that hold the price tag on a shirt at walmart.

 

I hate spiders.

 

mmmeeeeee too

 

 

My new pet: Fluffy Ain't he cute???

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh

 

 

here's a little tid bit of info for you, they are called "shbath" over there.

 

Can they really get THAT big though?! Is that photo-chopped for effect or what? (It gave me with *******). And, what about the obvious, who would play with a couple of spiders that big when you're carrying an automatic weapon? It'd be more fun shooting one, rrr, two of 'em! lol

No, really, do they get THAT big?

 

Okay did some quick research.

"Camel spiders are one of the fastest running arthropods. Although they have four pairs of legs, they run using only three pairs. The first pair of legs or pedipalpi are held up in front of them and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. They have very long, silky setae and are constantly moving in order to locate and pick-up prey. Despite their fearsome appearance and their strong bite, solifugids are unlikely to harm humans. In the past they were considered venomous and extremely dangerous but it is now thought that the only risk of injury resulting from them is caused by shock or infection following a bite. There is no evidence of venom in any part of their body.

Camel spiders are nocturnal predators of other arthropods including scorpions and are voracious feeders. Some species kill and feed on lizards and it is speculated that others kill mice and birds. They rely solely on their speed and stealth to catch their prey. In desert areas they are often attracted to lights at night in search of food and their appearance can cause alarm if they enter tents. It is rare to see them during the winter months and they are thought to hide or hibernate during cold."

Also, ran into another veteran who gave her experience:

"That is not photoshoped believe it or not. I have been going to Saudi Arabia since 1986 and I can tell you that some of those camel spiders get to be as big as small dinner plates. I made the mistake of teasing one one time and it chased me all over the flightline till it got bored. It must have looked funny to see a spider chasing someone around an airplane, but I was afraid to go in the jet for fear that it would corner me. God those things are scary and I'm not even afraid of spiders"

Okay, http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp says all above is true except they only get 5" big and they probably look big because of the camera angle.

I dunno. If you fed the booger all the time he'd keep getting bigger...twilight music please...

 

I'm leaving to Iraq in june. I'm a US Marine and I hate spiders with a passion. I guess I have arachnaphobia (sp) or something but I hate going to field. I have slept next to many spiders and what fourth but god do I want to curl into a ball and cry sometimes when I see those bitches. I hate them!!!!!! Now I gotta watch out for these *****, Great!!!!! I fire a Mk153 SMAW, screw taking out people with it I'm going to shoot those spiders. Just incase your wondering what a SMAW is it is a rocket launcher.

 

Ey guys that photo uses what is called "Forced Perspective"! If you look at the pliers and the guys hand an sleeve on his camies that thing is NOT that big, also they are not really spiders even... they are a from the Scorpion family.

 

That is some funny ****, quietly laughing to myself in the office--think I scared the other employees
