Nearly peed myself when this little guy popped out to say hello… In case you’re wondering, we call these little desert critters “Camel Spiders” not sure what their actual names are…

My general rule is bugs and spiders should be at least 2ft away from me but I think this thing should remain 2km away from me at all times. Restraining order against an entire order of animals please.

Yep. Also called a wind scorpion. They are neither a spider nor a scorpion.

solifugids are so funny looking, such an absurd jaw-to-body ratio and somehow entirely harmless LMAO

Solifugids! They got two sets of jaws so they can bite while they bite.

And to add to your nightmares, depending on the species they can grow up to almost 6 inches and reach a top speed of almost 10 miles an hour. S#!+.

Solifugids! :D They're not actually spiders (though they are arachnids) Harmless little things. If I remember correctly they appeared around the Carboniferous period (305ma years ago) and haven't really changed since then.
