The myth of the super sized camel spider
I was deployed to Iraq for 9 months, Seen 1 Camel Spider. it was small, Assuming this post is bringing up an ancient subject, but as for never having witnessed myself the "Giant" Camel Spider, i wont believe the rumors. Any of you have pictures of the real deal?

The are real, however camera perspective makes them look larger than they really are. They are related to scorpions and the larger species get to about 6 inches including legs.

If you dangle one by front legs then they become longer just like dangling a human in the same manner would make them 8 or 9 feet "tall".
