Solstice has a point. The Syndey Funnel Web spider is hands down the scariest mother I would ever want to encounter. The thing will actively persue you and is considered the world's deadliest spider. I've seen a couple of Discovery Channel pieces on this one.

Originally posted by jåcë 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!!

thanks, now i have some new nightmare material.

*edit* not as big as they look in that picture...

The photograph above is a study in perspective. The creatures pictured do, indeed, appear to be camel spiders. However, most accounts describe them as "golf-ball sized" or "about the size of a child's hand," and not the monsters they appear to be above. The composition of the photo draws your eyes to the legs of the soldier in the background for size comparison, rather than the other soldier's sleeve in the right foreground, which is the more accurate perspective. Then, the intertwining of the two insects also complicate getting a feel for their true size. The photo below gives a better indication of the Camel Spider's true size.

On Jay Leno last week they had a couple of those spiders on there - they were about as big as your hand but not ridiculously large. I'd still get the fuck outta there if I saw one of those things, though.
