Originally posted by jupiterone Wow... 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.

Solifugae are the subject of many myths and exaggerations about their size, speed, behavior, appetite, and lethality. They are not especially large, the biggest having a legspan of perhaps 12 cm, and although they are fast on land compared to other invertebrates, the fastest can run perhaps 10 miles per hour (16 km/h), a common running speed for many humans. Members of this order of Arachnida apparently have no venom, with the possible exception of one species in India (see below) and do not spin webs. In the Middle East, it was once rumored among American and coalition military forces stationed there that Solifugae will feed on living human flesh. The story goes that the creature will inject some anaesthetizing venom into the exposed skin of its sleeping victim, then feed voraciously, leaving the victim to awaken with a gaping wound. Solifugae, however, do not produce such an anaesthetic, and they do not attack prey larger than themselves unless threatened. Other stories include tales of them leaping into the air, disemboweling camels, hissing, screaming, and running alongside humvees; all of these tales are false, apparently told to new recruits in order to frighten them, to the amusement of the veterans. Due to their bizarre appearance many people are startled or even afraid of them. However, the greatest threat they pose to humans is their bite in self-defense when one tries to handle them. There is no chance of death directly caused by the bite, but, due to the strong muscles of their chelicerae, they can produce a proportionately large, ragged wound which is prone to infection.

Spiders are kind of interesting things too look at and watch, no way would I play with even the non-toxic ones or keep pets.

One however, you dont want anything too do with is the Sydney funnel web spiders, theyre absolutely horrifying, theyre quite aggressive and if they bite you, you will probably die if you dont get too hospital. In summer I used too drag these things out of my aunties pool with the net as they'd stumble in there during the night and couldnt get out. Not wanting too share a pool with what I thought was a dead spider or two I scooped them out and dumped them on the side and had a closer look.
I gave it a poke with the net and it jumped about 2ft at me and started running with its fangs out, front legs in the air. You could hear the scream (from me) about a block away apparently...

Funnel Webs

Not real keen on the camel spider, 10mph is kinda speedy, probably speedier than me running though sand so that doesnt really endear it too me at all. I've seen them in north africa but they where about the size of my hand.

Yeah camel spiders ftw! Didn't knew they were that large until I saw that pic half a year ago

They're not as big as the guys leg in the background. Its just a closeup, if you compare it to the guys hand it's merely a tad bit bigger if not the same as his hand who's holding it.

Freaked me out at first too and I've got arachnophobia but I find this stuff really interesting.
