What about CAMEL SPIDERS? Any military who has been to the desert knows about those bitches! These guys get pretty f'ng big and the guys like to catch'em and have camel spider fights. Also catch scorpions to feed the camel spiders.

that is not true. they do not attack human heads. they are mostly active at night and only get to be about the size of the average human palm. they do run about 25 mph though, and are considered the fastest arachnid alive. and no they do not eat camels bellies out.

ill just quote the one website:
"The only thing that disturbs the peacefulness of the scenery are the little critters that occupy the dark corners and enclosed spaces in the office. Cane spiders and centipedes invade the office daily and when it comes time to burn the cane fields for harvest, these creepy crawlies come en masse. We talked to Daniele who works at the Makaweli office about these unwanted visitors and she shared her proactive anti-spider plan which consisted of keeping the office neat, clean and uncluttered. Cans of spider killer also help, although she says that it usually takes almost half a can to kill a cane spider. Buy stock in Raid, folks.
Cane spiders are ugly creatures. Curled up in a corner, they don't look too intimidating, but once you get them riled up and running, they stretch out their legs and look even more hideous. We found one sitting outside all cozy in a corner of the ceiling. Arnold, being unafraid of our 8-legged friends, grabbed a fallen monkey pod from the ground and started throwing it at the unsuspecting Cane Spider. Immediately, the spider stretched out his legs and started running across the ceiling toward us. Naturally, we screamed and ran the other way. I managed to snap a couple of shots of the spider before fleeing.
If you didn't know, Cane Spiders are quite aggressive and have been known to jump at their attackers if they feel threatened. This one was no exception. He launched himself at Arnold and just missed him. Arnold deftly avoided the spider's attack and quickly stomped on him to seal his demise."
