FAKE! Also Camel spider. Here is the link!
Also google's image recognition is amazing.

This Camel Spider was made for a friend who just returned home, from a tour of duty in Iraq

Yeah but they don't look like THAT - and that's the point. Camel spiders are real, but the one created - in its coloration, etc - looks nothing like a real one.

They may grow to a length of 300 mm (12 in)

Looks like someone got bored of tying flies and decided to use the feathers and string for something a little more interesting.

Reddit, after this post i am NEVER going to click any post that just says "NOPE" or "NOOOO" or anything along those lines cause its always a GOD DAMN spider or something fucked up looking. I know this is the WTF section and i love it. But i fucking HATE spiders. My dumb-ass always seems to find that i click on the post even thou i know its going to be creepy. But this one just took the cake...and that thing in the picture looks like it could take the cake literally. LOL

It kinda looks like it would go nicely boiled, on a surf 'n turf plate next to a piece of steak.

Without any previous knowledge on the subject, I'm going with my gut instinct: Australia.

Three body sections on an arachnid... You had me going for a second though. Nice work!

[–]sigilvii 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a little jumbled... but I guess it's supposed to be a camel spider, which has a really long abdomen. The real thing still has two major body segments, but the abdomen is 10-segmented.

[–]H8r 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

regardless it looks really cool.

cheeechcccch This is Delta-One-Niner, what's the ETA of the package? Over.

I wondered why this got downvoted. Then I saw every comment has at least one. Some homo's been nuking this entire comment section ಠ_ಠ

I love seeing a bug like that - and knowing where the feathers came from. :) I'm a big fan of the jungle-cock feather over partridge on the abdomen. :)

And at the risk of spamming the comments (just got my hand slapped) - Here is how it was made. ;)

Annnd at the risk of spamming the comments, because I didn't see this below -

[–]TheGallery 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually that is a model of a very real class of arachnid known as Camel Spiders. Some species are indigenous to Iraq. Hence the reason the guy made it for his friend.
