A classmate of mine told me to look this up. Reddit, I give you the camel spider.

That's not a real camel spider. That's actually one made by fly tying. (this is the creation process)

It's not real, it's an art fly tied by a master fly maker.

Just one of the species. They flee the sun. They're not true spiders. Awesome critters though. They're also called Wind Scorpions. Order of Solifugae. As far as I know, they are not venomous with the exception of Rhagodes nigrocinctus, and that venom is not known to be toxic to humans. Rhagodes nigrocinctus is the type of camel spider/wind scorpion made famous when US soldiers encountered it in Iraq.

I'm in turkey right now. I've seen a few, they aren't bad unless they get in your shoe/sleeping bag from what I've been told.

Nope I think you made a mistake. Pretty sure this is Satan.. or at least a close relative.

Oh boy another camel spider. Yawn.

Welcome to Afghanistan!

Although, we had more scorpions than camel spiders.

I bet it's crunchy

MoutreyProd · 2012-10-15T18:47:08+00:00

That's probably the scariest camel spider I've ever seen.

Magnus_Serpens · 2012-10-15T19:47:04+00:00

This belongs in /r/nope where I will never see it again
