camel spider

[snailmaster]

they are part of the arachnid family and the two front "legs" are feelers and used for grappling so they aren't legs

How'd you manage to find one of those over there? Those boys have a bad reputation and not much known about them last time i looked them up. They get much bigger than 4" and i'd sleep terrified at night if it ever escaped! A lot of the stories that came back from the gulf about them are slightly over exagerated but they're still extremely scary and do take on scorpions.

camt watch that last vid. thats really sad. i know its the food chain but still...the squeeking.

anyway, i think ur a nutter and good luck with ur spider lol...im petrified of house spiders let alone those lol

lol yea. i remember about 10 odd years ago when all of a sudden there was an email going round about camel spider chasing after the camels jumping in to their stomachs and eating them inside out.

il see if i can find the pics, although if i rememeber rightly they were disputed as fake.

Last one looks Photoshopped. The legs wouldn't be grabbing his face like that.
