You fuckers ain't seen shit till you've seen a CAMEL SPIDER. Had to battle those fuckers in Iraq...and they JUMP ON YOU AS WELL!
They call them camel spiders because they bury themselves in the sand, and when a camel walks over it, it jumps off the ground and attaches itself to the underbelly of the camel. It then injects its venom into the belly of the camel, and the venom slowly, slowly rots away the skin, so the spider can crawl inside the camel and eat it from the inside out. Sometimes the camel doesn't even realize it's there and then PLOP...out go the intestines and the entire digestive system of the camel and it dies painfully and slowly. However, many people think they are aggressive, when actually they aren't. They hate the sun and love the shade, so if you happen upon a camel spider and it looks like it's following you as you step back, it's just following your shadow to keep out of the sun. Piss them off, however, and they WILL jump on you.
They're fucking huge, too. A big camel spider would probably be anywhere between 5-7 inches in length. Imagine putting your boots on every morning, looking for those fuckers to fall out. Scorpions ain't got shit on camel spiders.
