Looks like a scorpion to me.Originally Posted by ami link=board=1;threadid=8108;start=msg94131#msg94131 date=1081466242
Former SCJ now in rehab.
camel spider, they range from2 - 8 inches!




Looks like a pair of some sort of desert arachnids of some kind.. hard to see since they are attached to one another.
Not seeing anything particularly "eeek"-ful though. They just look like a pair of critters some dudes in camo clothing stumbled on and decided to pickup/play with. They definately look healthy from their size!
It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.
that is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen
why is one sucking the other one's ass?

Found some interesting reading on these pernicious looking critters-
They sound quite harmless. Probably make good pets/camp mascots for our GI's.They like to hide in the shadows, and they do run very, very quickly for a critter (they can reach about 10 MPH, the fastest known non-flying arthropod). They make no noise whatsoever, they have no venom whatsoever, and they do not eat flesh--they eat small desert arthropods like crickets and pillbugs. The rumors of their attacking camels, or crawling onto sleeping GIs' faces, apparently stem from one of two things, both of which may be true to some extent: (1) they may use hair to line their burrow when they are about to lay a batch of eggs, said hair being clipped from dead camels or other dead mammals (and a sleeping GI is not much different), and/or (2) dead camels are covered with flies, and crawling over a camel corpse may make for a convenient way to get a good meal of flies.
We have camel spiders in the sandy parts of the southwest U.S. and Mexico (in Mexico they are called matevenados), considerably smaller than the Middle Eastern types, but of the same shy, unassuming habits. Completely harmless and beneficial critters, like the desert equivalent of a praying mantis.
