camel spiders. Holy Fucking Shit.
 
hate to break it to you but the photo is misleading.

Although the creatures shown in the photograph above appear to be far too big for camel spiders, they look misleadingly large because of their closeness to the camera, which creates an illusion of exaggerated size. (Note their size in comparison to the uniform sleeve which appears in upper right-hand portion of the picture.)

Thanks lizzie.

Hey, do you like Boston?

They're still big fuckers though.
 
that's totally preferable to a spider. I was at home the other day and I went into my ma and da's downstairs jacks and there was a spinnog the size of my hand sitting on the wall. I got out of there like a bat out of hell.

  • Camel spiders can grow to be as large as dinner plates.
  • Camel spiders can traverse desert sand at speeds up to 25 MPH, making screaming noises as they run.
  • Camel spiders can jump several feet in the air.
  • Camel spiders eat the stomachs of camels and lay their eggs there, hence the name "camel spider." (Legend includes the detail that camel spiders eat camel stomachs from either the outside in or the inside out. In the former case they supposedly jump up from the ground and grab onto camels' bellies from underneath; in the latter case exactly how spiders allegedly as large as dinner plates get into camels' stomachs intact remains unexplained.)
  • Camel spiders are venomous, and their venom contains a powerful anesthetic that numbs their victims (thus allowing them to gnaw away at living, immobilized animals without being noticed). U.S. soldiers were said to have been attacked by camel spiders at night but remained completely unaware of their plight until they awakened in the morning to find chunks of their flesh missing.
Damn, I wish all these things were true.
