'Spiders in Iraq'

I love the interweb and its urban myths..
This is the email I received from a co-worker:

Instant nightmares after looking at this!!

They run 10 mph, jump three feet, are a nocturnal spider, so only come out at night unless they are in shade.

When they bite you, you are injected with Novocain so you go numb instantly. You don't even know you are bitten when you are sleeping, so you wake up with part of your leg or arm missing because it has been gnawing on it all night long. If you are walking around and you bump something that is casting a shadow over it, and the sun makes contact with it, you better run. It will instantly run for your shadow, and scream the whole time it is chasing you.

PS. The one on the bottom is eating the one on the top. These are Spiders found daily in IRAQ by troops. Imagine waking up and seeing one of these in your tent!!



CREEPY SHIT.
Thank god its not true. haha
In actuality they're not even spiders, and they don't eat humans.

I can't stop looking at it. It's like a cut in your mouth that you can't stop poking because you want to make sure it's still there and that it still hurts just as much.

According to most spider experts, these claims are all false. Camel spiders (so named because, like camels, they can be found in sandy desert regions) grow to be moderately large (about a 5" leg span), but nowhere near as large as dinner plates; they can move very quickly in comparison to other arthropods (a top speed of maybe 10 MPH), but nothing close 25 MPH; they make no noise; and they capture prey without the use of either venom or anesthetic. Camel spiders rely on speed, stealth, and the (non-venomous) bite of powerful jaws to feed on small prey such as other arthropods (e.g., scorpions, crickets, pillbugs), lizards, and possibly mice or birds. They use only three pairs of legs in running; the frontmost pair (called pedipalpa) is held aloft and used in a similar manner to the antennae of insects. Camel spiders shun the sun and generally hide during the day, coming out at night to do their hunting.
Still they got instane instects in the middle east..
When I went to Israel I remember being attacked ( well it just hovered over my head...but still! ) by some flying beetle that looked to me like a bird!!!
creepy
