OMG I think I'd flip out. I don't mind spiders for the most part, but if I found that thing on me I'd go straight up. I need a fake one of those to throw at my wife.

Fact or Fiction, those things are just plain nasty!

There's 2 alright. That's why the one on top has his mouth open.

Technically not spiders (also known as wind scorpions) but who would care if one was in your sleeping bag!



They aren't really as big as the picture would have you think, 5 inches across is the biggest they get. You can see the soldiers hand at the very top of the picture. No venom, basically shy, can run up to 10 mph, nocturnal.
