Origins: The photo displayed above does indeed show camel spiders encountered in Iraq, but a number of the claims about them multi-legged creatures made in accompanying text are inaccurate or exaggerated.Ĭlaims of camel spiders being flesh-eating anesthesia-injecting beasts are folklore, not reality, so worry not that those serving in our country's armed forces in Iraq are having to deal with man-eating creepy-crawlies the size of small cats.Ĭamel spiders, also known as wind spiders, wind scorpions, and sun scorpions, are a type of arthropod found (among other places) in the deserts of the Middle East.
I'm gona be having night mares after seeing this photo! They eat flesh, not just suck out your juices like a normal spider.

These are 2 of the biggest I've ever seen. This picture is a perfect example of why you don't want to go to the desert. Enclosed is a picture of his friend holding up two spiders. It'll give you a better idea of what our troops are dealing with. I thought you'd like to see what a camel spider looks like.
