That first picture is 2 spiders. But, yeah their kinda nasty.

My brother told me about those things while he was in Iraq.


Actually, he said they weren't in Iraq much. More when he traveled through Kuwait.

Apparently they arent exactly spiders.

It looks like a face hugger.

The photo's perspective also distorts their size. Their leg span ( distance between tips of two opposing legs is only 5 or 6 inches. The photo makes it look more than twice that.

Get out of there.

That is one heck of a nasty bite, wish they were all back.

No, spiders they're not: they are in another class altogether.

Nasty jaws, but fortunately non-toxic.

hey, ANY creepy crawley that is 5 to 6" leg spread is freeekin huge in my book

 

[ecclesand]

Yeeuck! Other than the fact they have eight legs, they look like ants on steroids. In any case, I sure as hell wouldn't want one crawling around in my BDUs....

imagine if the camel spider bit him in another area

 

[mtkversion]

I'd much rather be bit by a camel spider than a brown recluse ...
