I really bloody hate Spiders. I can't stand them, but I thought "I'll scroll down the page, see how far I get... Ugh, never again (truth be told I had my eyes closed for a lot of it so this picture may already have been posted. Meh.

Ah, the 'camel spider'. We have a much smaller sub-species that lives around here. I caught one at work years ago, had no idea what it was, so I took it to the entomologist at Fresno State. They're apparently known as Wind Scorpions. Nasty thing, gave me a terrible bite for its size.
The animals pictured, however, are not as large as they seem. It's just a case of trick/piss-poor photography. Youtube 'camel spider' sometime.
