My question to all concerns the agressiveness of these "camel spiders" as they are known to the veterans of South West Asia. I had one of these things chase me all over a parking lot one night in Saudia Arabia until I jumped up on a Deuce and a half to escape it. BTW, the screaming like a child that Elmer Fudd mentioned is exactly the sound I was making the whole time. They do not move like a traditional spider, herky jerky; these things track like a RC car, smooth and non-stop. My screaming like a girl on the school playground brought out a couple of the guys who weren't arachnophobic and one caught it with his gloved hands as it ran right up to him! He dumped water on it....and no kidding....it died instantly! The scale is about correct in that photo: body 2-3" legs are longest at the front up to twice the body length. When we would move the shipping containers around out in the storage areas we have seen MUCH larger.
