There are so many rumors about these things circulating because they are quite scary when you first come across one and the soldiers in Iraq ome across these all the times. Google "Camel Spider Bites", quite gruesome. Fun fact is that when these things bite you they inject sort of like a novacaine so you don't feel a thing and then they just gnaw away at you until they're full. They're not poisonous though, that's the one good thing.

The scariest thing about these is if it's in the sun and you come across one it will chase you (not really, it just wants your shadow to stay cool) but that freaks a lot of people out.
