Camel spiders apparently. I'd hate to have them in my bed. Now I'm not afraid of arachnids, but if I climb into bed and I feel a hairy leg touch my thigh, squirming, trying to wiggle its way up my boxers, I'm not going to be a happy camper.

Just imagine if it was in the room when you fainted - the first thing you'd know about it would be when it was dragging you off by the hair :shocked: :Yikes:

Slowly edges out with his eyes flicking everywhere

A shoe?????????? You'd need feet the size of tanks to kill that thing!

peachey 08-04-2004 17:56

Re: Nightmares... are..... made... of... this.
 
does that thing have some kind of venom or sting

just to put the cherry on the cake so to speak?

Re: Nightmares... are..... made... of... this.
 
No just a nasty bite!

dilli-theclaw 08-04-2004 18:00

Re: Nightmares... are..... made... of... this.
 
Well - I think that would definately scare the crap out of me if I saw one in real life....

I'm not too happy about seeing the picture either :)

These little suckers can eat on living flesh because their saliva contains a powerful painkiller. Imagine waking up, seeing half your foot is gone... [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

'Shudders' :sick:

I did a six month tour in Belize about 11 years ago. Christ, you should see the spiders in the jungle. They spin their webs between plants, along paths in the jungle, and then wait for flying critters to get trapped in the web.

Strange thing is, they always seened to be right at face height to me (5' 8"), and where about 8" across including the legs. Horrible beasties. But thats where a really, really sharp knife comes in to play. :devsmoke:

If that "thing" above is anything to go by, a sharp knife will be no help at all. The only thing that will help you if that thing takes a fancy to you is a very good priest.

They eat your face :eek:

There venom stop's your nerve's from working.. so you dont feel it, until you check the mirror next morning :O

They got the name Camel Spider though, from the myth about how they cling to the underneath of Camels, and eat there stomachs.. Camel's dont feel it, cos of the venom.. they only find out when there intestines drop out :eek::D

Worst thing I remember was once going to bed on the mediterranean coast south of France and found a dead scorpion in the bed sheets.
Scared me tonnes at the time as I couldnt sleeep the rest of the night.

Apparently they're harmless...and not actually spiders, but related

I'd still brick myself if one started following my shadow, especially if it was nearly noon!

When active during the day they avoid the hot patches of ground and run from shadow to shadow even if the shadow is made by a human. When the human moves, the solifugid moves into the shadow. This gives the impression that the animal is chasing the human thus solifugids are commonly called hunting spiders.

They are more abundant in drier regions and range in size from 25mm to 75mm in length.

The ones in the piccy look a hell of a lot bigger than 3 inches! :disturbd: :Yikes:
