    And not really a true spider. Distant cousin maybe.. Any spider that can run at 16km/h is going to die in my home.

    Our Australasian friends are rather quiet. They are probably thinking what a bunch of ... here hold my beer. Now this is a spider.

      Probably not in mine though, I‘d never catch it…..it would be like Wile E Coyote and the damn beep beep bird…..

        When I lived in Libya, camel spiders were common. They really are big b***ers! I have seen some with bodies the size of saucers, and then add in the legs !!

          They aren’t venomous though. They don’t have the venom delivery systems true spiders have.

            Sorry to be a pain but Camel Spiders are a part of the Scorpion family and not actually a spider

              Sorry to be a bigger pain, but they are of the Solifugae order. Scorpions are of the Scorpione order, and spiders are of the areneae order, so camel spiders aren’t spiders, but they aren’t scorpions either…..they are all arachnids though

                      Yes JR, The Spider specie are slowly being whittled down to their ugly order.....all of which are Alien to this planet!! As far as I am concerned, if it has more than six legs and more than two eyes..........it's a freakin Alien bug!!!

                        And in certain parts of the far east they're all available to ‘order’ - on Just Eat :tears-of-joy:

                            As you can see loads in the UK , the Wolf spider can if provoked bite, it doesn't cause any I'll effect .
                            If you use a tunning fork near a stone wall the will appear !
