Camel Spider
The camel spider is the friendliest spider in the world. When kept as a pet they are known to respond when called by name, curl up for a nap on their owners pillow and can even make a mean cup for tea!

they dont usually attack anything much bigger than itself unless threatened, and they are not venomous however leave a nasty wound if they bite you.

Wow looks like these dudes (camel spiders) had a fuckload of myths going on about them XDWhat's next? US soldiers in Iraq seeing camel spiders measuring 5 meters long and 2 high being used as mounts by enemy soldiers??All bullshit aside.Are they aggresive? The will obviously bite if you harrass them but what if you just extend your hand? (Like handling tarantulas)

Oh well even though if I was at the desert and see a little thingy on the floor running towards me I would at least be like "WHAT THE SHELL?" and then "oh.. okay, it's just a camel spider looking for shade".Just ignore the rumor-spreading pricks, until they get the experience of not-being attacked by a running camel spider they will realize what bullshit they were spreading ;)

When a camel spider stays under your shadow that means it dosent want to be in the sun. it wont attack you so its ok. it just hates the sun
gaurdian3012 (January 1, 2009 at 5:50 am)
when it runs under your shadow it ussualy will follow you and will burrow under it when you stop but i would not be suprised if it did attack

and its classification is part of the solpugidae family of the solifugae orderit has a diet for other arthropods and others that are smaller than it, it is smart not to pick on those larger.
insalias (December 27, 2008 at 9:37 pm)
It is a solifugid
insalias (December 27, 2008 at 9:31 pm)
They do not attack anything larger than them unless threatened, and their bite could never kill a human directly. it only risks infection, the largest of them only have a leg span of around 5 inches. they have no anesthesia or venom. they run at most 10 mph. they will run towards you, which may give those afraid and ignorant the illusion that they are attacking, they are merely seeking refuge from the sun. You are a fool spreading rumors. I hate ignorant morons.
insalias (December 27, 2008 at 9:19 pm)
They aren't agressive, they will run towards you due to the shadow you cast, so they may get out of the desert sun.

Wind scorpions (camel spiders, not spiders, not are they scorpions, say scientists) are such amusing creatures. They, unlike spiders, have actualy MOUTHS. They're also very passionate in a way-or affectionate. To get with a female they stroke her using their front "legs" or the whatever they're called to hold their prey with, to win the female over.

Scorpions have no chance? I've even seen it here on youtube when a scorpoin kills a camel spider

a camel spider's bite is no joke. If their bites are anesthetic, they're currently surgeons' best friends.
