Tonight my gf and I were walking down by the river. she still had her work clothes on, which consisted of a long skirt and a sweater-lookin thing. well we're standing there looking across the water and she freaks out and says something was crawling on her. it's dark, the only light out is from the moon. but i see this relatively big thing scurrying away from us. I use the starbucks cup she had to capture it, and apparently it died from a massive heart attack caused by a caffeine overdose. anyways, i took it home, rinsed off the cappucino and spread the legs out to try to find out wtf it was.
this was taken before I caught it
this was after i cleaned it up
the mouth kinda opened sideways, looked like 2 pinchers side by side
I did a quick google search on "spider," and found a list of common US spiders. lo and behold, there was the thing that was crawling up my gf's skirt, the same damn thing that you've seen troops in Afghanistan holding up that are as big as your head
of course this one isn't that big, but its still pretty damned big and creepy lookin
i have it sitting in a jar now, and the thing looks like it should be alive still cuz those big front antennae/legs (actually pedipalps) are stickin up in the air :sly:

apparently they aren't poisonous, but they do bite, and the bite sometimes gets infected

My cousin captured a camel spider when i was down to visit they are pretty crazy looking.
I think he had it fight with a Pray Mantis or something
Camel Spiders are mean as hell. We would poke it with a stick and it would try attacking the stick.
