[LordJezo]

I blame bush for those.

 

[AvesPKS]

I think I'd be obligated to shoot one of those with a gun. I get the feeling that a shoe would only make it mad.

[BillGates]

HOLY WTF! There is no need for something like that to exist.

 

[rudeguy]

That thing looks like you could shoot it with and M16 and it would just eat the bullets, give you a little grin, the spit the bullets right back at you.

Urban legends about the camel spider (properly termed a solpugid or solifugid) are as old as the proverbial hills, but they made a huge resurgence when vectored by American troops in Kuwait during Desert Storm. They're not quite as big as your hand (unless you're a five-year-old), and very shy and secretive. They do like to hide in the shadows, and they do run very, very quickly for a critter (they can reach about 10 MPH, the fastest known non-flying arthropod). They make no noise whatsoever, they have no venom whatsoever, and they do not eat flesh--they eat small desert arthropods like crickets and pillbugs. The rumors of their attacking camels, or crawling onto sleeping GIs' faces, apparently stem from one of two things, both of which may be true to some extent: (1) they may use hair to line their burrow when they are about to lay a batch of eggs, said hair being clipped from dead camels or other dead mammals (and a sleeping GI is not much different), and/or (2) dead camels are covered with flies, and crawling over a camel corpse may make for a convenient way to get a good meal of flies.

HOLY WTF!!! 10MPH!! FOR A SPIDER!

 

[rh71]

how fast do humans walk ?

 

[vi edit]

Looks like a prototype for the "face huggers" in Alien(s). :Q

 

[SWScorch]

well, 10mph would be, a 6 minute mile, I believe? so that's equivalent to a fairly quick run. I would guess a typical person walks about 4 mph.

If I ever saw one of those there is no way I would remain sane. Just imagining one near me is freaking me out. I would want a very large, powerful weapon to deal with one of those.

 

[TheToOTaLL]

Thats a big ass spider!! *me hugs the Orkin man* :Q
