D A M N! Is that a freakin' lobster or something??@!?
I see occasional scorpions in my neck of the woods but they're about 1/1,000,000th the size of that monstrosity. -
Yea, I stepped out my room to go use the bathroom and got the crap scared out of me. This one was about the size of a cigarette pack.

"Let's glue a spider to a lobster and see what happens" -God when creating the scorpion.

Scorpius-rexus !!!

Have you run across any death stalker scorpions yet? I got to meet one in Iraq when we were moving a pile of rocks from behind a storage building.

My skin is crawling from here. I instinctively started to reach for my 12 gauge.

At least with flip-flops they cant crawl inside and hide. Something to think about!

Almost time for camel spider season. And those freak me out worse, mainly because they are faster and chase you.

Yep

Thanks for reminding me. I almost broke my ankle last year when walkinf with a case of water in each hand and a massive one came out of the shadow and tried to kamikaze me. I jump in the air hoping to land on it, which I did, but rolled my ankle in the process. I could hear his legs pounding the pavement as he ran at me.

Jeezz man , how big do they get ?

I have seen some that are 7-8 inches in body length and about a foot in diameter, but I am sure there are bigger ones.gmill880:Jeezz man , how big do they get ? -

They can grow up to 12", including the legs. The name "camel spider" is actually a misnomer since they aren't true spiders, even though the are of the order Arachnida with true spiders belonging to the order Aranaea. Not disputing the fact that they will chase or attack a human, but the only true danger they pose to an adult is a ragged bite that tends to become easily infected.
Sorry, had to go into geek mode for a bit... -

Holy Moly !!! I would have to sleep hanging upside down by the knees from a door like a bat to make sure one of those things wasn't under the covers with me !!! -
You are absolutely correct. But the Afghans think they are poisonous and kill everyone they see. I don't have the heart to tell them they are not poisonous and to let them live
-
yea, they have a 4-piece mouth/mandible. I think they modeled the PREDATOR mouth after it.Toombes:gmill880:Jeezz man , how big do they get ?

Could you tell them the same thing about Al Quida (sp) ??? You might get to come home sooner and smoke more cigars !!! -
