snopes has a page on these critters


http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp

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

Unhappy 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.

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?
