They're called Camel Spiders in Iraq...

You've probably seen this pic.  It's really
two spiders close to the camera. Looks
like a huge beast hangin' off his leg!
They get pretty dang huge though.


Here's one waiting to see if a soldier has
any adrenaline left.




This one tested my skills.  They're quick.
My dog was barking at it!  You know a spider is tooooo big when
your dog has to bark at it!
It scared her.  haha. 
I'm guessing she won't be protecting me from them any time soon. 


I think they're called Sun Spiders here.  I'm told they eat scorpions and they
are non-venomous... but the bite can get infected. 
Hmmm, better than a sting?
...I think.
