While they are arachnids, camel spiders are not spiders, they are solifugae.


It also says they can run 25 MPH.
Great, so they are like the speed junky zombies out of Dawn of the Dead.

And they like kinky sex.

That article says they are claimed to be able to run 25 MPH but in actually can only run about 10 MPH tops.

Still thanks for posting the link. Very cool

For those who are still curious: here's the full-resolution image.

Why oh why did I have to look?

dig...dig...dig... boy, Japanese people sure look funny when they take pictures. :)

EWWWW.
so, not only are they nasty 8 legged spiders, but the legs are covered with icky hairs.......
bletch!

Uhuh!! I'm not doing that again! :eek: Once was enough!

**still working on a joke about camel jockeys** but n/m

I bet they can do 25 km/hr :)

They are harmfull !!!!!!
 

They inject a venom into your skin that is a pain killer than they start to eat your skin.

While on one deployment to the sand box, one of my DH's squadren mates had half his ear eatten off while he slept.

They are also very aggressive they will attack you and chase after you.

NOW the bad news. They have been hidding aboard military cargo planes back to the US for years.

Re: They are harmfull !!!!!!
 

So, in a fight between a New York City rat and a camel spider, who do you root for?

BTW, if you get half your ear eaten off, do you get sent home?

well..
 

I would bet on the spider. If it can scare the hell out of grown men and make him run screaming like a little girl. lol

And yea he got sent home.

Ahhhhhhh! I hate bugs I tell ya'.


The way Indiana Jones hates snakes.

I'm here glatt.
I've been away so can happily say I never saw this picture until today, and holy shit that's horrid.:eek:
