Apparently, if those bite you, and you try to tug at them, they take a chunk of flesh along with them.

I just showed a friend those, and he's said their fake, or fake pictures.

Swears by it, he said he's seen the biggest spiders on the planet, and those are way bigger, so he thinks thier fake.

That picture is actually 2 camel spiders locked together.

I'll have to scan in the picture I took of one when I was in Saudi Arabia. Bastards body was almost as big as the end of a flyswatter.
