Camel spiders are not spiders, but are rather a type of tailless scorpion. They have no venom, but with a four-sectioned jaw, they can deliver a nasty bite, nonetheless.

We have them here is the states, though smaller, called the sun scorpion-I live in NE California and see them often in my house and at my farm. They are fast, and can be agressive, though none of the ones I have dealt with were.

I hate spiders and my husband told me scary stories of camel spiders in Iraq (but I think he was trying to scare me). As I too found all kinds of info on them in the web and they always says something different. But hey, it’s on the web it must be true.

Spiders and snakes are your friends. They keep the pest populations in check. Don’t hate them and squash them. Marvel at them, and be thankful that they are on your side.

I had been in Panama this past year and saw the rare “Asesino Gigante Del Lobo” spider. That thing is four feet from side to side and vicious. I dropped my camera after I took pictures when the thing started chasing us. Thank goodness for cars.

Hmmm, I can see the spider eating thing, but do they have much muscle structure to eat? And yes, there are spiders that get much bigger than that. I just dont happen to have any pictures of them.

fredfacker:

It’s called a bird eater because it sneaks up on birds and jumps on them before they can fly away. =D Fast bastids.

I love spiders.

I’m glad I live in Canada and not the Amazon.
